Funeral wake catering in Warblington, slow-roasted on site
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. Typical bookings include celebrations of life and church and village hall wakes, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and salads.
In a small place like Warblington, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
