A hog roast near Lindford
Funeral wake catering near Lindford
Wakes in Lindford happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Popular choices include new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and life celebrations.
Around Lindford, wakes are frequently at the village hall, a pub or home. Let us know where the roaster could go. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
A hog roast can sit alongside cakes and tea. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Lindford
Which station is closest to Lindford?
Liphook station, about 3.9 miles south-east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
What if the service runs late?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll adjust.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In late September, sunset in Lindford is about 7:05pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
