Funeral wake catering in Toddington, slow-roasted on site
Wakes in Toddington happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. Whether it’s gatherings after a cremation and church and village hall wakes, we will put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In Toddington, the hall is frequently where people gather, and its grounds suit the roaster. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
