How our funeral wake catering works in Weston
After a funeral in Weston, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. For scattering-of-ashes gatherings and wakes at home, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and halloumi skewers and more.
For a wake near Weston, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Weston questions
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at St Thomas' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you cover Weston?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Weston and the rest of West Berkshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Weston
Your quote depends on:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
