Funeral wake catering in Remenham Hill, slow-roasted on site
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 the food can be served inside. For wakes in village halls and celebrations of life, we’ll put together a menu of roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Near Remenham Hill, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
