Funeral wake catering in Winkfield, slow-roasted on site
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. For wakes at a local club and wakes in village halls, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your guests.
In rural Winkfield, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer evenings in Winkfield stay light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
