Funeral wake catering in Coldmoorholme, carved to order
We know families have a lot to arrange: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we are regularly asked to cater church and village hall wakes and home wakes.
In a small place like Coldmoorholme, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Coldmoorholme
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
