Funeral wake catering in Clanville, slow-roasted on site
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we are regularly asked to cater celebrations of life and church and village hall wakes.
For a wake near Clanville, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it is dark in Clanville 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.
