Funeral and wake catering in Iffley, cooked to order
We understand that timings on the day can move, and we will work around the service and the family. On the menu are pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for gatherings at home after a funeral and celebrations of life.
In Iffley, the hall is frequently where people gather, and its car park suits the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
