About our funeral wake catering in Maryland
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Popular choices include apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads, and typical bookings are for pub and club wakes and family meals after a funeral.
In Maryland, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Add chicken as an alternative.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Summer evenings in Maryland stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Give us a contact for the day and we’ll adjust.
