About our funeral wake catering in Ringwould
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Whether it is gatherings after scattering ashes and pub and club wakes, we can cook salads, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In rural Ringwould, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the venue has its own caterer, check whether we can cater there. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
