Funeral wake catering in Sarsden, carved to order
A wake in Sarsden is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for gatherings after a cremation and anniversary memorials.
In rural Sarsden, home or the hall is usual. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
