Funeral wake catering in Deerton Street, slow-roasted on site
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. We’re frequently asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and church and village hall wakes, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
In a small place like Deerton Street, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Space inside for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?

Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-December sunset in Deerton Street is about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
