About our funeral wake catering in Wentworth
A wake in Wentworth is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. We’re often asked to cater one-year memorials and wakes at a local club, with apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and halloumi skewers.
For a wake near Wentworth, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Why choose a hog roast in Wentworth?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Wentworth hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

The closest is Longcross station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Wentworth too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.

What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Working with your venue

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
