Funeral wake catering near Ashey
After a funeral in Ashey, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we’re often booked for one-year memorials and gatherings at clubs and pubs.
For a wake near Ashey, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
