Funeral wake catering in North Weston, carved to order
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Tell us what matters to you and we will do our best. We’re often asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and gatherings at clubs and pubs, with rotisserie chicken, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In rural North Weston, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Autumn and winter afternoons in North Weston get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Next to sandwiches, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if things run late?
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.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including North Weston and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food

We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
