Funeral wake catering in Leverton, slow-roasted on site
After a funeral in Leverton, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for home wakes and remembrance days.
In a small place like Leverton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level outdoor area
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- A safe distance from the hall
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Common questions in Leverton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We’ll always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In winter, it is dark in Leverton by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
