About our funeral wake catering in East End
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. For anniversary memorials and pub and club wakes, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
For a wake near East End, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in East End
Can you roast near the sea around East End?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We will always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
