Funeral wake catering for Felpham
How our funeral wake catering works in Felpham
We know families have a lot to arrange: one call, one quote and quiet, reliable service. Typical bookings include gatherings at clubs and pubs and anniversary memorials, serving halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce.
For a wake in a place like Felpham, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
What affects the price in Felpham
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In winter, it’s dark in Felpham by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
How to get a price

Felpham: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Where can you serve a wake?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.

- Travel and any London charges
- What crockery is supplied
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
