Funeral wake catering near Foscot
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. For church and village hall wakes and memorial gatherings, we can cook apple sauce, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
For a wake near Foscot, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a summer wake in Foscot, there is light until about 9:30pm, so a garden gathering works well.

FAQs for Foscot
What’s the nearest station to Foscot?
Kingham station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Foscot too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
