Funeral wake catering near Pizien Well
After a funeral in Pizien Well, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. Whether it’s gatherings at clubs and pubs and memorial events, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your guests.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
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.

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
