Funeral wake catering near Edenbridge
We know families have a lot to arrange: one call, one quote and quiet, reliable service. For gatherings at clubs and pubs and church and village hall wakes, we can cook apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads and more.
For a wake in a place like Edenbridge, the village hall is often the heart of it. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In winter, it’s dark in Edenbridge by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A level outdoor area
- Approval from the landlord or committee

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot food feels more caring. 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.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
