About our funeral wake catering in Berrylands
Services can run over, and that is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. We are often asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and ashes ceremonies, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Wakes in Berrylands are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
