How our funeral wake catering works in Kiddington
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. Typical bookings include wakes at a local club and ashes ceremonies, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and apple sauce.
Near Kiddington, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Common questions in Kiddington
Is Kiddington close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Kiddington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Normally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
Do you cover Kiddington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kiddington and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We hold the food if people are delayed.
China crockery is available on request.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
