About our funeral wake catering in Jealott's Hill
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. We are frequently asked to cater family meals after a funeral and remembrance days, serving new potatoes, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In a small place like Jealott's Hill, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Most wakes in Jealott's Hill are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it is dark at about 3:55pm.

- We serve quietly as people gather.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every wake is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- A short route for the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
