Funeral wake catering in Buckland, carved to order
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. We are frequently asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and wakes at home, with salads, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In rural Buckland, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A safe distance from the hall
- A friend or relative we can call
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
