Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Funeral wake catering in Weston, slow-roasted on site
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for remembrance days and church and village hall wakes.
Near Weston, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. 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.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Most wakes in Weston are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
