Funeral wake catering in Fullerton, slow-roasted on site
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. We are frequently asked to cater remembrance gatherings and hall gatherings after a service, with salads, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
For a wake near Fullerton, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late September, sunset in Fullerton is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
