Funeral wake catering near Fulmer
Wakes in Fulmer happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. Typical bookings include gatherings at the family home and memorial gatherings, with apple sauce, new potatoes and salads.
Near Fulmer, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wake in Fulmer, there is light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.

Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
