How our funeral wake catering works in Potter's Green
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. For one-year memorials and family get-togethers after a service, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates for your guests.
Near Potter's Green, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
