Funeral wake catering in Broadbridge
Funeral wake catering in Broadbridge, slow-roasted on site
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. We’re frequently asked to cater memorial gatherings and life celebrations, serving new potatoes, salads and apple sauce.
In a small place like Broadbridge, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Add chicken as an alternative.

Broadbridge questions
Can you cater after a service at The United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Broadbridge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we will adjust.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Autumn and winter afternoons in Broadbridge get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- 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 clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What affects the price in Broadbridge
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Site access

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Before you choose a spot

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
