Funeral wake catering in Owlswick
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

- We bring everything to cook and serve

How our funeral wake catering works in Owlswick
Services can run over, and that is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. Whether it’s wakes in village halls and scattering-of-ashes gatherings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
In a small place like Owlswick, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately

Afterwards we pack up quietly.

Owlswick: your questions answered
How far is Owlswick from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Owlswick too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you cover Owlswick?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Owlswick and the rest of Buckinghamshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Summer evenings in Owlswick stay light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
