Funeral wake catering near Amport
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there is anything special and we will do our best. Typical bookings include family meals after a funeral and memorial gatherings, with apple sauce, salads and new potatoes.
In a small place like Amport, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Request gluten-free rolls
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Autumn and winter afternoons in Amport get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
