Funeral wake catering near West Yoke
A wake in West Yoke is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. We are often asked to cater anniversary memorials and hall gatherings after a service, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
For a wake near West Yoke, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In winter, it’s dark in West Yoke by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
