How our funeral wake catering works in Temple Mills
After a funeral in Temple Mills, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and typical bookings are for pub and club wakes and memorial gatherings.
For a wake in Temple Mills, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
