Funeral wake catering in Mullenspond, carved to order
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings at the family home and pub and club wakes, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads.
For a wake near Mullenspond, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In late September, sunset in Mullenspond is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
