About our funeral wake catering in Priestwood
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater wakes at home and memorial events, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
For a wake in a place like Priestwood, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Common questions in Priestwood
We are gathering after a service at 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Priestwood close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if people arrive late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wake in Priestwood, there is light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.
