How our funeral wake catering works in Souldern
If the service runs late, we wait: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Name someone we can call on the day. For remembrance days and family get-togethers after a service, we will put together a menu of salads, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In rural Souldern, home or the hall is usual. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Souldern
What’s the nearest station to Souldern?
The closest is Kings Sutton station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is Souldern close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
