About our funeral wake catering in Three Bridges
After a funeral in Three Bridges, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. We are frequently asked to cater home wakes and anniversary memorials, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and salads.
In Three Bridges, the hall is often where people gather, and its grounds suit the roaster. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A level outdoor area
- A safe distance from the hall
