About our funeral wake catering in Walton
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, salads and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for hall gatherings after a service and wakes at home.
For a wake in a place like Walton, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask close family about dietary needs
Our staff are discreet and respectful.

The closest is Bow Brickhill station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do we need to provide electricity?

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Autumn and winter afternoons in Walton get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

How to prepare

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
