Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
How our funeral wake catering works in Walthamstow Village
A wake in Walthamstow Village is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. Whether it’s wakes at home and gatherings at clubs and pubs, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
