About our funeral wake catering in Quainton
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there is anything special and we’ll try to help. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for wakes at a local club and memorial gatherings.
For a wake near Quainton, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
