How our funeral wake catering works in Flansham
A wake in Flansham is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. For family meals after a funeral and remembrance gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates for your guests.
Near Flansham, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Flansham
How far is Flansham from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Flansham?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Where can you serve a wake?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Do you cover Flansham?
Yes, Flansham is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
What do we need to organise?
Not much: the space and a contact.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Autumn and winter afternoons in Flansham get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.
China crockery is available on request.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
