How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In winter, it is dark in Cade Street by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Funeral wake catering in Cade Street, slow-roasted on site
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there is anything special and we will do our best. We are often asked to cater anniversary memorials and gatherings after scattering ashes, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
For a wake near Cade Street, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- Salads
- New potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Common questions in Cade Street
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Cade Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you come to Cade Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Cade Street and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Generally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll tell you quickly.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
