Funeral wake catering for Hungerford
How our funeral wake catering works in Hungerford
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll do our best. For remembrance days and hall gatherings after a service, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and salads.
For a wake near Hungerford, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- The number of people
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: use our quote form.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In winter, it is dark in Hungerford by about 4:05pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
