A hog roast near Belmont
Funeral wake catering near Belmont
A wake in Belmont is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. Typical bookings include wakes at home and gatherings after scattering ashes, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
In Belmont, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the roaster could go. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
