How our funeral and wake catering works in Fyfield
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. For wakes at church halls and clubs and remembering a loved one’s favourite food, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In rural Fyfield, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
