Funeral wake catering in Tye, carved to order
We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. Popular choices include roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and remembrance gatherings.
Near Tye, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Tye is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Tye questions
Is Tye too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Eames Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What if people arrive late?
That’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Generally. Contact us when the date is set and we will answer right away.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
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. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
