Funeral wake catering in Murcott, slow-roasted on site
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Whether it’s anniversary memorials and ashes ceremonies, we can cook salads, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes and more.
For a wake near Murcott, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every wake is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: use our quote form.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-December sunset in Murcott is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
