About our funeral wake catering in Gibraltar
Wakes in Gibraltar happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. On the menu are apple sauce, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and typical bookings are for gatherings after scattering ashes and pub and club wakes.
Near Gibraltar, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
