Funeral wake catering in Faygate, carved to order
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. We serve salads, new potatoes and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for memorial gatherings and gatherings after a cremation.
In rural Faygate, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
