About our funeral wake catering in Wood Street Village
After a funeral in Wood Street Village, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. Popular choices include new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for one-year memorials and ashes ceremonies.
In a small place like Wood Street Village, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
