How our funeral wake catering works in Jevington
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater remembrance days and wakes at a local club.
For a wake near Jevington, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In winter, it is dark in Jevington by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
