Funeral wake catering in Sherington, carved to order
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We are often asked to cater memorial gatherings and wakes at a local club, serving halloumi skewers, new potatoes and apple sauce.
In rural Sherington, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
