Funeral wake catering in Chiddingstone Causeway, carved to order
We know families have a lot to arrange: one call, one quote and quiet, reliable service. Whether it is ashes ceremonies and celebration-of-life gatherings, we will put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and apple sauce and more.
In a small place like Chiddingstone Causeway, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
For event organisers in Chiddingstone Causeway
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Chiddingstone Causeway
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep the alternatives labelled
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.
A hog roast compared with other options
If the venue has its own caterer, check whether we can cater there. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
