How our funeral wake catering works in Broughton
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 we serve indoors where the venue allows. Whether it’s memorial gatherings and celebration-of-life gatherings, we will put together a menu of roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Broughton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In winter, it is dark in Broughton by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:30pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwiches, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
