About our funeral wake catering in Bexhill-on-Sea
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We are often asked to cater home wakes and ashes ceremonies, with apple sauce, salads and rotisserie chicken.
In a town like Bexhill-on-Sea, a wake at the family home or the local hall is common. The roaster goes in the garden or the hall grounds. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Bexhill-on-Sea questions
Could you cook in Egerton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at The Chilli Tree: 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.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Do you cover Bexhill-on-Sea?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Bexhill-on-Sea and the rest of East Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- A picture of the cooking area
