About our funeral wake catering in West End
Wakes in West End happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. Typical bookings include celebration-of-life gatherings and ashes ceremonies, serving rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes.
In West End, the hall is often where people gather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wake in West End, there is light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
