How our funeral wake catering works in Cudworth
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re regularly asked to cater scattering-of-ashes gatherings and remembrance days.
Near Cudworth, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Cudworth: halls, homes and travel
Cudworth is about 4 miles west of Horley, in Surrey. Thinking about a hog roast for the wake in Cudworth? We can help. We bring hog roasts to 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Cudworth to Guildford (15 miles away).
Families holding a service at Church of St Peter often gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the roast can be ready. Cudworth is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
Wherever your wake is in RH5, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater a wake on streets such as Cudworth Park, The Poplars and Burnt Oak Lane, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Cudworth, we also cover Newdigate (1 mile west), Russ Hill (1 mile south-east), Parkgate (2 miles north), Charlwood (2 miles east) and Norwood Hill (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Guildford (15 miles north-west), Epsom (12 miles north), Horley (4 miles east), Redhill (7 miles north-east), Ewell (13 miles north) and Reigate (6 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Langley Green Hospital (3.8 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Vann Lake and Leith Hill.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In winter, it is dark in Cudworth by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Cudworth
Could you cook in Newdigate Brickworks?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater in Cudworth?
Yes, Cudworth is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- Approval from the landlord or committee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
