About our funeral wake catering in Segensworth
If the service runs late, we wait: we will hold the food until people arrive. Name someone we can call on the day. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads, and we are frequently booked for memorial events and ashes ceremonies.
In rural Segensworth, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clearance from walls and branches
- A friend or relative we can call
- A level outdoor area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
