About our funeral wake catering in Towersey
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Tell us what matters to you and we will do our best. We are frequently asked to cater life celebrations and family meals after a funeral, with apple sauce, new potatoes and salads.
In rural Towersey, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Ask about china.

Organising for someone else?
