About our funeral wake catering in Langley 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 the food can be served inside. Typical bookings include scattering-of-ashes gatherings and family get-togethers after a service, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and apple sauce.
Around Langley Green, wakes are often at the village hall, a pub or home. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
