About our funeral wake catering in Clifton Reynes
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. On the menu are new potatoes, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after a cremation and wakes at a local club.
In rural Clifton Reynes, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Clifton Reynes questions
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Clifton Reynes too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you cover Clifton Reynes?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we will adjust.

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
