Funeral wake catering near St Peter's
We cater wakes in St Peter's and the surrounding area, at homes, halls and venues. Whether it’s family get-togethers after a service and gatherings after scattering ashes, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and apple sauce and more.
For a wake in a place like St Peter's, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
