Funeral wake catering in Enton Green, carved to order
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater family meals after a funeral and pub and club wakes, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, salads and new potatoes.
In rural Enton Green, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can sit alongside cakes and tea. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer evenings in Enton Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
