Common questions in Bepton
Do you come out to small places like Bepton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: the space and a contact.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Funeral wake catering in Bepton, slow-roasted on site
Wakes in Bepton happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes at a local club and memorial events.
In rural Bepton, home or the hall is usual. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In winter, it is dark in Bepton by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
China crockery is available on request.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A friend or relative we can call
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
