Funeral wake catering in Nutbourne
How our funeral wake catering works in Nutbourne
Wakes in Nutbourne happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. We serve new potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater celebration-of-life gatherings and home wakes.
In a small place like Nutbourne, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Late-December sunset in Nutbourne is about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
