Funeral wake catering in Longcross, carved to order
If the service runs late, we wait: we will hold the food until people arrive. Name someone we can call on the day. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for gatherings at the family home and scattering-of-ashes gatherings.
For a wake near Longcross, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In winter, it is dark in Longcross by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
