Funeral wake catering in Findon Valley
How our funeral wake catering works in Findon Valley
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there is anything special and we will try to help. For family get-togethers after a service and church and village hall wakes, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In Findon Valley, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
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.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Common questions in Findon Valley
Can you roast near the sea around Findon Valley?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details and we will reply promptly.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
