About our funeral wake catering in Easington
We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We’re often asked to cater gatherings at clubs and pubs and wakes in village halls, serving salads, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
In rural Easington, home or the hall is usual. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- All the equipment comes with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Easington
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In winter, it’s dark in Easington by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
