Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Typical bookings include hall gatherings after a service and celebration-of-life gatherings, with halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken.
For a wake near Wootton, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
