How our funeral wake catering works in Harrow
Services can run over, and that’s fine: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Give us a contact for the day. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for family meals after a funeral and wakes at a local club.
For a wake in Harrow, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
