Common questions in Winslow
Is Winslow close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Laurence: 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 about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you wait?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Funeral wake catering in Winslow, carved to order
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. For family meals after a funeral and gatherings after scattering ashes, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, salads and rotisserie chicken.
In Winslow, the hall is often where people gather, and its grounds suit the roaster. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wake in Winslow, there is light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.

- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Why book with us

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Check with family about dietary needs
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
