Funeral wake catering for Brasted Chart
How our funeral wake catering works in Brasted Chart
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We are often asked to cater anniversary memorials and gatherings after scattering ashes, serving apple sauce, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
For a wake in Brasted Chart, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from Brasted Chart
What if our house in Brasted Chart has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs 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.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Space away from the building and any trees
As a London location, Brasted Chart is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Details that help

For event organisers in Brasted Chart
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late September, sunset in Brasted Chart is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.

- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
