Funeral wake catering in Bayworth, carved to order
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. For gatherings after a cremation and wakes in village halls, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and apple sauce and more.
In rural Bayworth, home or the hall is usual. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
