About our funeral wake catering in Byfleet
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We’re often asked to cater wakes at home and gatherings at clubs and pubs, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In Byfleet, the hall is often where people gather, and its grounds suit the roaster. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
