About our funeral wake catering in Turville
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. Whether it’s hall gatherings after a service and gatherings at clubs and pubs, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
For a wake near Turville, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn and winter afternoons in Turville get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
