About our funeral wake catering in Millbridge

For a wake near Millbridge, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late September, sunset in Millbridge is about 7:05pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We serve quietly.
