About our funeral wake catering in Holloway
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. Typical bookings include gatherings after a cremation and home wakes, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
In a small place like Holloway, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Planning help
Working with your venue
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.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
