Funeral and wake catering, slow-roasted on site
After a funeral, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it means nobody in the family has to cook. We roast quietly on site while the service takes place and serve when everyone arrives.
Roast pork in rolls or on plates, with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw, plus chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We know plans can be made at short notice and times can shift; tell us what you need and we’ll do our best to help.

A hog roast compared with other event catering
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Hog roast | One roast feeds a crowd; carved hot in front of guests; no kitchen needed | It’s pork, so add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options; needs an outdoor cooking spot |
| Barbecue | Casual and familiar | Food comes off in batches; someone has to stand at the grill |
| Food vans | Quick, informal street food | Each order is cooked separately, so big groups can mean queues |
| Cold buffet | Simple; no cooking on site | Food sits out; nothing hot on a cold evening |
| Plated meal | Formal and traditional | Needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head |
