Funeral wake catering in Brunswick
How our funeral wake catering works in Brunswick
After a funeral in Brunswick, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. We are often asked to cater gatherings at clubs and pubs and remembrance days, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In Brunswick, the hall is often where people gather, and its grounds suit the roaster. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Questions from Brunswick
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?

Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you wait?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
