Funeral wake catering in St Clement's, slow-roasted on site
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. We are often asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and life celebrations, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, salads and halloumi skewers.
For a wake in a place like St Clement's, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
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.

FAQs for St Clement's
We’re gathering after a service at St Clement's Church: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to St Clement's?
Oxford station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Can you wait?
Name someone we can call and we’ll adjust.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
China crockery is available on request.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In winter, it’s dark in St Clement's by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
