How our funeral wake catering works in Hedsor

Hedsor questions
Can you cater after a service at Cores End United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Hedsor close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you wait?
That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
What affects the price in Hedsor
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
