Funeral and wake catering in Temple Park, fried fresh
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. For wakes at church halls and clubs and life celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For a wake in a place like Temple Park, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
