About our funeral wake catering in Wrecclesham
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 scattering-of-ashes gatherings and wakes in village halls, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and salads.
In Wrecclesham, the hall is often where people gather, and its grounds suit the roaster. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
