Funeral wake catering in Bramley, carved to order
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for family meals after a funeral and anniversary memorials.
In Bramley, the hall is often where people gather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Common questions in Bramley
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at The Church of Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you do something else?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Halal isn’t available.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In winter, it is dark in Bramley by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
