Funeral wake catering for Albourne Green
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Funeral wake catering near Albourne Green
Wakes in Albourne Green happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. We are frequently asked to cater ashes ceremonies and remembrance days, with apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
For a wake near Albourne Green, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
