Funeral wake catering for Widmore
Widmore: your questions answered
Could you cook in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you serve on plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
About our funeral wake catering in Widmore
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. Typical bookings include hall gatherings after a service and anniversary memorials, with apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and halloumi skewers.
In Widmore, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
