Funeral wake catering in Snagshall
How our funeral wake catering works in Snagshall
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there is anything special and we’ll do our best. We’re often asked to cater wakes at a local club and gatherings after scattering ashes, with roast pork in rolls or on plates, salads and new potatoes.
In rural Snagshall, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
What affects the price in Snagshall
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
