How our funeral wake catering works in Sibford Gower
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We are frequently asked to cater remembrance days and gatherings at the family home, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In rural Sibford Gower, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the alternatives labelled

- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
If the service runs late, we wait.

Questions from Sibford Gower
Do you come out to small places like Sibford Gower?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you serve on plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Do you cover Sibford Gower?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Sibford Gower and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
A hog roast can sit alongside cakes and tea. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
