How our funeral wake catering works in Walton Hall
After a funeral in Walton Hall, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. 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 rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for pub and club wakes and one-year memorials.
Near Walton Hall, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
