How our funeral wake catering works in Marsh Green
Services can run over, and that’s fine: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Give us a contact for the day. Whether it is one-year memorials and family meals after a funeral, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
In rural Marsh Green, home or the hall is usual. 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.
