Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How our funeral wake catering works in Farley Green
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 new potatoes, halloumi skewers and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we are regularly asked to cater remembrance days and celebration-of-life gatherings.
In rural Farley Green, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
