Slow-roasted pork in Sands End
Funeral wake catering in Sands End, slow-roasted on site
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. We are frequently asked to cater memorial gatherings and home wakes, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
In Sands End, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Sands End
Can you do a hog roast in Imperial Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

What about guests who don’t eat pork?

You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What comes with the hog roast?

Step by step
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. Late-December sunset in Sands End is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
