Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.

About our funeral wake catering in Vigo Village
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. Typical bookings include family meals after a funeral and celebration-of-life gatherings, with halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads.
In rural Vigo Village, home or the hall is usual. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
