Funeral wake catering in Row Town, carved to order
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For family get-togethers after a service and gatherings at the family home, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In Row Town, the hall is frequently where people gather, and its grounds suit the roaster. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can sit alongside cakes and tea, which is fine with us. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Most wakes in Row Town are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
