How our funeral wake catering works in Waldron
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it’s family get-togethers after a service and home wakes, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates for your guests.
For a wake near Waldron, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Waldron questions
Could you cook in Passingworth Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
