Funeral wake catering in Bexon, slow-roasted on site
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 anniversary memorials, serving new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Bexon, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late September, sunset in Bexon is about 7:00pm; in December, about 3:50pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
