How our funeral wake catering works in Moorhouse Bank
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. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for pub and club wakes and church and village hall wakes.
For a wake in Moorhouse Bank, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

FAQs for Moorhouse Bank
What if our house in Moorhouse Bank has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We will handle the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Autumn and winter afternoons in Moorhouse Bank get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
