About our funeral wake catering in Whaddon
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Typical bookings include remembrance gatherings and church and village hall wakes, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads.
In rural Whaddon, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
