About our funeral wake catering in Wineham
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there is anything special and we’ll do our best. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for memorial gatherings and celebrations of life.
In rural Wineham, home or the hall is usual. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What else we do in Wineham
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Wineham questions
