Funeral wake catering across Milton Keynes
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’re often asked to cater family meals after a funeral and gatherings at the family home, with salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
What you will pay
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
