How our funeral wake catering works in Micheldever
If the service runs late, we wait: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Give us a contact for the day. Typical bookings include one-year memorials and celebration-of-life gatherings, serving apple sauce, salads and new potatoes.
In rural Micheldever, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

If the hall or pub provides food, check whether we can cater there. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Micheldever questions
Do you come out to small places like Micheldever?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Micheldever close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater in Micheldever?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you wait?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In winter, it is dark in Micheldever by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

What we serve, dish by dish

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
