About our funeral wake catering in Three Mile Cross
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. We serve apple sauce, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater church and village hall wakes and gatherings after a cremation.
In rural Three Mile Cross, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
China crockery is available on request.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A friend or relative we can call
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- New potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
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.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Why choose a hog roast in Three Mile Cross?
Compared with a venue’s set 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 isn’t always the best value.
Why Three Mile Cross hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Common questions in Three Mile Cross
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels: 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.
Is Three Mile Cross close to London?
About 38 miles from central London.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Frequently, yes. Contact us when the date is set and we will answer right away.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Autumn and winter afternoons in Three Mile Cross get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

Preparing for the day
