Funeral wake catering near Chingford Mount
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. We serve new potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after a cremation and hall gatherings after a service.
Wakes in Chingford Mount are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat.
