Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Funeral wake catering in Bradwell, slow-roasted on site
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for memorial gatherings and gatherings after a cremation.
For a wake near Bradwell, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works

In winter, it is dark in Bradwell by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
