Funeral wake catering in Liverton Street, carved to order
Wakes in Liverton Street happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. On the menu are new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for gatherings after scattering ashes and home wakes.
In rural Liverton Street, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. In late September, sunset in Liverton Street is about 7:00pm; in December, about 3:50pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Get in touch 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 tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check with family about dietary needs
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
