Funeral wake catering in Hinchley Wood, carved to order
A wake in Hinchley Wood is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. Typical bookings include scattering-of-ashes gatherings and wakes in village halls, with rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes.
In Hinchley Wood, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Hinchley Wood
How far is Hinchley Wood from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Stokes Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Autumn and winter afternoons in Hinchley Wood get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day
