Funeral wake catering for Broadford
Funeral wake catering in Broadford, carved to order
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll try to help. For gatherings at the family home and scattering-of-ashes gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates for your guests.
In rural Broadford, home or the hall is usual. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Autumn and winter afternoons in Broadford get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.

How to prepare
