Funeral wake catering near Loxhill
Wakes in Loxhill happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. Whether it’s hall gatherings after a service and ashes ceremonies, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads and more.
For a wake near Loxhill, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Wakes in Loxhill are generally in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day

How we price a hog roast for the wake
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
