About our funeral and wake catering in Brunswick Park
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. For small family memorials and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For a wake in Brunswick Park, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest, though home can work with a drive. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Allow a little extra
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.

Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
