A hog roast near Spanish Green
Funeral wake catering in Spanish Green, slow-roasted on site
After a funeral in Spanish Green, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. On the menu are apple sauce, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater family meals after a funeral and wakes at a local club.
In a small place like Spanish Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Spanish Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Spanish Green?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 2.3 miles west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you wait?
Give us a contact for the day and we will adjust.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you come to Spanish Green?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family

Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Autumn and winter afternoons in Spanish Green get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.

- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
