How our funeral wake catering works in Frimley Green
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. We serve salads, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for anniversary memorials and memorial events.
For a wake in a place like Frimley Green, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In late September, sunset in Frimley Green is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
