About our funeral wake catering in Green Hailey
Services can run over, and that is fine: we will hold the food until people arrive. Name someone we can call on the day. Popular choices include apple sauce, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes at a local club and celebration-of-life gatherings.
For a wake near Green Hailey, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwiches, hot food feels more caring. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Green Hailey hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-December sunset in Green Hailey is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.

About the food

What else we do in Green Hailey
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Add chicken as an alternative.
For event organisers in Green Hailey
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Clearance from walls and branches
- A short route for the equipment
- One contact on the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
On the menu in Green Hailey
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
