Funeral wake catering in Pyrford Village
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
How our funeral wake catering works in Pyrford Village
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. Typical bookings include family get-togethers after a service and wakes at home, serving new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Pyrford Village, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
