Funeral wake catering in Jennett's Park, slow-roasted on site
After a funeral in Jennett's Park, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater celebrations of life and wakes at a local club.
In Jennett's Park, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works

- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
