About our funeral wake catering in Naphill

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In late September, sunset in Naphill is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Naphill questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Botolph: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Naphill close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
What should we provide?
Not much: the space and a contact.
Do you cover Naphill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cater in village halls?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, given an outdoor cooking area.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Usually. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
About the food
