Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About our funeral wake catering in St Ann's
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there’s anything special and we’ll do our best. We are frequently asked to cater scattering-of-ashes gatherings and remembrance days, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, salads and apple sauce.
In St Ann's, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
