Funeral wake catering in Pound Hill, carved to order
After a funeral in Pound Hill, 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. Whether it’s celebration-of-life gatherings and memorial events, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers and more.
For a wake in a place like Pound Hill, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In winter, it’s dark in Pound Hill by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
