Funeral wake catering for Stalisfield Green
Funeral wake catering in Stalisfield Green, slow-roasted on site
After a funeral in Stalisfield Green, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. Whether it is family get-togethers after a service and one-year memorials, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Stalisfield Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours.
