Funeral wake catering in Lee Gate, slow-roasted on site
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. We are often asked to cater scattering-of-ashes gatherings and remembrance days, with rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes.
In rural Lee Gate, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

What else we do in Lee Gate
Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Lee Gate
Do you come out to small places like Lee Gate?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Old Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Do you come to Lee Gate?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Lee Gate and the rest of Buckinghamshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Lee Gate
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Lee Gate
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- Clearance from walls and branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
