Funeral wake catering in Shottesbrooke, slow-roasted on site
Wakes in Shottesbrooke happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. Popular choices include new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for home wakes and gatherings after a cremation.
In rural Shottesbrooke, home or the hall is usual. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

FAQs for Shottesbrooke
Is Shottesbrooke too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Shottesbrooke?
Twyford station, about 3.3 miles west of the centre.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do you cover Shottesbrooke?
Yes, Shottesbrooke is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Why choose a hog roast in Shottesbrooke?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Organising for someone else?

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
