Funeral wake catering in Nonington, carved to order
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there is anything special and we’ll try to help. Whether it is wakes at a local club and family get-togethers after a service, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads.
In rural Nonington, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Where the roaster can go in Nonington

- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Parking close by for our vehicle
