How our funeral wake catering works in Fernhill
Funerals are usually planned within a week or two. Contact us as soon as the date is set, and we will tell you straight away whether we can help. For pub and club wakes and celebration-of-life gatherings, we can cook new potatoes, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates for your guests.
Near Fernhill, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A safe distance from the hall
- Parking close by for our vehicle
