How our funeral wake catering works in Littleton
If the service runs late, we wait: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Name someone we can call on the day. Whether it’s church and village hall wakes and gatherings after scattering ashes, we can cook new potatoes, apple sauce and salads.
In a small place like Littleton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Littleton
Do you come out to small places like Littleton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Francis: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Generally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
