How our funeral wake catering works in Boughton Corner
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for life celebrations and gatherings at the family home.
For a wake near Boughton Corner, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: fill in our quote form.

- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
