Funeral wake catering in Stone, carved to order
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for anniversary memorials and memorial gatherings.
For a wake near Stone, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Check with family about dietary needs
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a summer wake in Stone, there is light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Why choose funeral wake catering in Stone?
Nobody in the family has to cook or serve.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Stone hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: send us your details through our quote form.
