Our funeral wake catering in Windsor and Maidenhead

We know families have a lot to arrange: one call, one quote and quiet, reliable service. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for anniversary memorials and wakes at home.

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.

  1. Get in touch when the date is set.
  2. We check the cooking spot with the venue.
  3. We set up and roast on the day.
  4. Our staff serve without fuss.
  5. We tidy up and go.

Cost

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Keep the alternatives labelled
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
  • Ask close family about dietary needs
  • Count anyone who does not eat pork

We hold the food if people are delayed.

Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.

What we serve, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken

For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Planning the cooking spot

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

  • Flat ground outside the hall or house
  • Clearance from walls and branches
  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

What do you need from us on the day?
