Funeral wake catering for Little Frieth
About our funeral wake catering in Little Frieth
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. For one-year memorials and ashes ceremonies, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
In rural Little Frieth, home or the hall is usual. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Most wakes in Little Frieth are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
