How our funeral wake catering works in Hangersley
We know families have a lot to arrange: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. Whether it’s pub and club wakes and gatherings after a cremation, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and salads.
In a small place like Hangersley, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Clearance from walls and branches
- Approval from the landlord or committee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- New potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
