Funeral wake catering in Wexham Street, slow-roasted on site
A wake in Wexham Street is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. On the menu are halloumi skewers, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re regularly asked to cater remembrance gatherings and pub and club wakes.
In rural Wexham Street, home or the hall is usual. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How the day works
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. Autumn and winter afternoons in Wexham Street get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
