Funeral wake catering in Borough Green, slow-roasted on site
A wake in Borough Green is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. Typical bookings include remembrance gatherings and scattering-of-ashes gatherings, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In Borough Green, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.
Arranging a wake in Borough Green

For anyone coming to the funeral by train, there is a station right in Borough Green: Borough Green & Wrotham station. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Borough Green, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
For wakes in TN15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wake in a garden on Station Road, High Street and Hill View or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Close by, we cover wakes in Basted (1 mile south), Platt (1 mile east), Crouch (1 mile south), Claygate Cross (1 mile south) and Comp (1 mile east).

Organising for someone else?

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
