Funeral wake catering near Great Kingshill
We know families have a lot to arrange: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We’re frequently asked to cater home wakes and family meals after a funeral, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
In a small place like Great Kingshill, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot

What’s the nearest station to Great Kingshill?
Great Missenden station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We’ll handle the rest.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cater in Great Kingshill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Great Kingshill and Buckinghamshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
