About our funeral wake catering in Nuneham Courtenay
Services can run over, and that is fine: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Give us a contact for the day. For memorial gatherings and wakes at a local club, we can cook new potatoes, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
In rural Nuneham Courtenay, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
