Funeral wake catering in Brands Hill, carved to order
A wake in Brands Hill is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. Typical bookings include memorial events and celebrations of life, serving halloumi skewers, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In a small place like Brands Hill, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
