Funeral wake catering near Broughton
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. For memorial events and church and village hall wakes, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a small place like Broughton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do you clear up?

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
