Funeral wake catering in Putney, carved to order
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Typical bookings include wakes in village halls and wakes at a local club, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
For a wake in Putney, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-December sunset in Putney is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
