How our funeral wake catering works in Wiggonholt
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Whether it’s one-year memorials and hall gatherings after a service, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In a small place like Wiggonholt, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Send us the date, the address or RH20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late-December sunset in Wiggonholt is about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Organising for someone else?

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
