Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
