Funeral wake catering in Kingston Stert
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wake in Kingston Stert, there’s light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
