Funeral wake catering in Kingham
Questions from Kingham
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Kingham?
Kingham station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.
What should we provide?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
