Funeral wake catering in Mursley, carved to order
After a funeral in Mursley, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. For celebrations of life and church and village hall wakes, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads.
In rural Mursley, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

A hog roast compared with other options
If the venue has its own caterer, check whether we can cater there. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Mursley
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Mursley: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Mursley?
Bletchley station, about 4.5 miles north-east of the centre.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Where can you serve a wake?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We will always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
