Funeral wake catering near Nashes Green
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. On the menu are apple sauce, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we are regularly asked to cater memorial gatherings and pub and club wakes.
For a wake near Nashes Green, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-December sunset in Nashes Green is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
