About our funeral wake catering in Weston Underwood
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes at home and memorial events.
For a wake near Weston Underwood, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends, which is fine with us. 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.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we are on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every wake is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.

What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Most wakes in Weston Underwood are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, though in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

- We check the cooking spot with the venue.

- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
