How our funeral wake catering works in Winkfield Street
Wakes in Winkfield Street happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for one-year memorials and gatherings at clubs and pubs.
Near Winkfield Street, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Autumn and winter afternoons in Winkfield Street get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
