Funeral wake catering near Dunkirk
Services can run over, and that’s fine: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Give us a contact for the day. We’re often asked to cater ashes ceremonies and gatherings after a cremation, serving rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce.
In rural Dunkirk, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wake. Autumn and winter afternoons in Dunkirk get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
