About our funeral wake catering in Lower Eashing
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Whether it is memorial gatherings and life celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes and more.
For a wake near Lower Eashing, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Why choose a hog roast in Lower Eashing?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Lower Eashing: your questions answered
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 usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Eashing?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.

- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
If the service runs late, we wait.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
