Funeral wake catering in Easebourne, carved to order
After a funeral in Easebourne, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. Whether it is gatherings at the family home and pub and club wakes, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In a small place like Easebourne, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
