How our funeral wake catering works in Nyewood
Wakes are frequently arranged at short notice. Get in touch as soon as the date is set, and we will give you a quick answer. For scattering-of-ashes gatherings and gatherings after a cremation, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
For a wake near Nyewood, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In winter, it’s dark in Nyewood by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
