Funeral wake catering in Loxwood, carved to order
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there is anything special and we’ll try to help. We’re often asked to cater celebration-of-life gatherings and memorial gatherings, serving new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads.
Near Loxwood, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
What the cooking area needs

- Permission from the hall or venue

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
