About our funeral wake catering in Bampton
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. Typical bookings include family meals after a funeral and gatherings at clubs and pubs, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For a wake in a place like Bampton, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Wakes in Bampton are generally in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it’s dark at about 4:00pm.
