How our funeral wake catering works in Bure Park
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there’s anything special and we will do our best. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for scattering-of-ashes gatherings and one-year memorials.
Around Bure Park, wakes are often at the village hall, a pub or home. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast can sit alongside cakes and tea, which is fine with us. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Autumn and winter afternoons in Bure Park get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
