Funeral wake catering near Haydon Hill
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. Whether it is gatherings after a cremation and church and village hall wakes, we will put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
For a wake in a place like Haydon Hill, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In winter, it’s dark in Haydon Hill by 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.
