Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Funeral wake catering near Addington
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Whether it is gatherings after scattering ashes and church and village hall wakes, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
For a wake in Addington, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Questions from Addington
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Addington?
West Wickham station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- A clear quote with everything listed
