Funeral wake catering near Frogmill
After a funeral in Frogmill, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. Popular choices include new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for anniversary memorials and family meals after a funeral.
In rural Frogmill, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

- We set up and roast while you are at the service.

Frogmill questions
What’s the nearest station to Frogmill?
Henley-On-Thames station, about 3.1 miles west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Where can you serve a wake?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We will always try. Tell us the details for a quick answer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
