How our funeral wake catering works in Stubbings
A wake in Stubbings is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. Popular choices include apple sauce, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re frequently booked for gatherings after a cremation and anniversary memorials.
In rural Stubbings, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it is dark in Stubbings by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Questions from Stubbings
Do you come out to small places like Stubbings?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Stubbings?
The closest is Furze Platt station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you wait?
That’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Ask about china.
