Funeral wake catering near Nuptown
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Popular choices include roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for gatherings at the family home and remembrance days.
In a small place like Nuptown, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
The process
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. Late-December sunset in Nuptown is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- 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 leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
