Slow-roasted pork in Walhampton
How our funeral wake catering works in Walhampton
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there’s anything special and we will do our best. Whether it’s pub and club wakes and scattering-of-ashes gatherings, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
In a small place like Walhampton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. 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.

For a service at a church like United Reform Church, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests. Walhampton is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park; tell us about access if the wake is somewhere rural. Walhampton is within about a mile of the sea, and coastal halls can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered cooking spot.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In late September, sunset in Walhampton is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:05pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See how we price and the cost guide.
Where the roaster can go in Walhampton
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
