Funeral wake catering in Langley, carved to order
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. Popular choices include apple sauce, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and life celebrations.
In Langley, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
