Funeral wake catering near South Street
A wake in South Street 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. We serve apple sauce, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for anniversary memorials and wakes at a local club.
In rural South Street, home or the hall is usual. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
