Funeral wake catering near Holyport
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it is ashes ceremonies and celebration-of-life gatherings, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates for your guests.
In rural Holyport, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wake in Holyport, there is light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.

Holyport: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Ockwells Park?

Do you come out to small places like Holyport?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

Can you wait?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll adjust.

Very little: the space and a contact.
