Funeral wake catering in Tottenham
How our funeral wake catering works in Tottenham
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. On the menu are new potatoes, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re regularly asked to cater church and village hall wakes and memorial events.
For a wake in Tottenham, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We hold the food if people are delayed.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wake in Tottenham, there is light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
