Funeral wake catering in Warnham, carved to order
A wake in Warnham is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater remembrance days and life celebrations.
In rural Warnham, 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Warnham
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Warnham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Normally. Contact us when the date is set and we will tell you quickly.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
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.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is frequently simpler. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
See our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late September, sunset in Warnham is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
