How our funeral wake catering works in Redford
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. For remembrance days and memorial gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
In rural Redford, home or the hall is usual. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What affects the price in Redford
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

FAQs for Redford
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Redford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if the service runs late?
Give us a contact for the day and we will adjust.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What should we provide?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
