Slow-roasted pork in Neatham
About our funeral wake catering in Neatham
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Typical bookings include scattering-of-ashes gatherings and memorial gatherings, with salads, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
In rural Neatham, home or the hall is usual. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
