Funeral wake catering in North Crawley, carved to order
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and typical bookings are for gatherings after scattering ashes and family meals after a funeral.
In rural North Crawley, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
