About our funeral wake catering in Wooburn Green
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll try to help. We serve apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wakes in village halls and gatherings after a cremation.
For a wake in a place like Wooburn Green, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
