Funeral wake catering in Nether Wallop, carved to order
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll try to help. Whether it is life celebrations and pub and club wakes, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a wake near Nether Wallop, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Served at the time you choose
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.

FAQs for Nether Wallop
Do you come out to small places like Nether Wallop?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
Can you serve on plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
