Funeral wake catering in Sunningdale, slow-roasted on site
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for family get-togethers after a service and memorial events.
For a wake in a place like Sunningdale, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Questions from Sunningdale
What’s the nearest station to Sunningdale?
Sunningdale station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Can you wait?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

For event organisers in Sunningdale
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A friend or relative we can call
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Permission from the hall or venue

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-December sunset in Sunningdale is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
