How our funeral wake catering works in New Haw
Wakes in New Haw happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Popular choices include roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for life celebrations and family get-togethers after a service.
In New Haw, the hall is often where people gather. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take

Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Check with family about dietary needs

We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
