A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. For wakes in village halls and celebrations of life, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and apple sauce and more.
Near Lower Cadsden, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

- Allergies we should know about

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- Sides to make it a full meal

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wake in Lower Cadsden, there’s light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
