The process

- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Funeral wake catering in Camberley, slow-roasted on site
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Tell us what matters to you and we will do our best. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes at a local club and one-year memorials.
In Camberley, choosing a venue near the service helps guests. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
China crockery is available on request.
