About our funeral wake catering in Benhilton
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. For memorial events and family meals after a funeral, we will put together a menu of roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and salads.
For a wake in Benhilton, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In late September, sunset in Benhilton is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
