Slow-roasted pork in Weybourne
Funeral wake catering in Weybourne, slow-roasted on site
Funerals are normally planned within a week or two. Contact us as soon as the date is set, and we will tell you straight away whether we can help. We serve new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for life celebrations and ashes ceremonies.
Around Weybourne, wakes are frequently at the village hall, a pub or home. Let us know where the roaster could go. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
FAQs for Weybourne

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
