Funeral wake catering near Ibstone
A wake in Ibstone 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 nobody in the family has to cook. Whether it’s family meals after a funeral and church and village hall wakes, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce.
In a small place like Ibstone, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Ibstone questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Ibstone?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Is it a sit-down meal?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
What if people arrive late?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.

We bring hog roasts to all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Ibstone to Reading (about 13 miles away).

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Most wakes in Ibstone are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
