How our funeral wake catering works in Stoneleigh
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. We serve salads, apple sauce and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for family get-togethers after a service and home wakes.
Around Stoneleigh, wakes are often at the village hall, a pub or home. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
