Funeral wake catering in Little Coxwell, carved to order
Wakes in Little Coxwell happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. We serve halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and wakes in village halls.
In a small place like Little Coxwell, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Little Coxwell questions
Is Little Coxwell too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We will always try. Tell us the details and we will reply promptly.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- A short route for the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
