Slow-roasted pork in Hazlemere
How our funeral wake catering works in Hazlemere
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. On the menu are salads, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we are often booked for remembrance gatherings and family meals after a funeral.
In Hazlemere, the hall is often where people gather. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In winter, it’s dark in Hazlemere by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
