About our funeral wake catering in Westcott
Wakes in Westcott happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for family meals after a funeral and wakes in village halls.
In a small place like Westcott, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
For event organisers in Westcott
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Questions from Westcott
Could you cook in Milton Heath and The Nower?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far is Westcott from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer wake in Westcott, there is light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
