Funeral wake catering in Peene, slow-roasted on site
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes in village halls and one-year memorials.
Near Peene, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Common questions in Peene
How far is Peene from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where the roaster can go in Peene
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What a hog roast costs

- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer evenings in Peene stay light until about 9:15pm, so a garden gathering works well.
