Funeral wake catering in Hatch Warren, carved to order
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Whether it is hall gatherings after a service and wakes at home, we will put together a menu of roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and apple sauce and more.
For a wake in a place like Hatch Warren, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A friend or relative we can call
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Parking close by for our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
