Funeral wake catering in Fawley, slow-roasted on site
A wake in Fawley is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. We’re often asked to cater memorial gatherings and remembrance days, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and salads.
Near Fawley, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. 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.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In winter, it’s dark in Fawley by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
