Funeral wake catering in Alfold Crossways, carved to order
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and family meals after a funeral.
