About our funeral wake catering in Bromley Green
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. Typical bookings include wakes at home and church and village hall wakes, with new potatoes, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In rural Bromley Green, home or the hall is usual. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
