About our funeral wake catering in Cop Street
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. Popular choices include salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for family get-togethers after a service and remembrance gatherings.
In a small place like Cop Street, 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, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A hall or room for eating
- Space away from the building and any trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- New potatoes
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
