How our funeral wake catering works in Warsash
We know families have a lot to arrange: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We are frequently asked to cater hall gatherings after a service and ashes ceremonies, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and salads.
In Warsash, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the roaster could go. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
