About our funeral wake catering in Chinbrook
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. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for church and village hall wakes and celebration-of-life gatherings.
Wakes in Chinbrook are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Ask about china.
About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
