How our funeral wake catering works in Highstreet Green
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. Whether it’s gatherings at the family home and remembrance gatherings, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken.
For a wake near Highstreet Green, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
