Funeral wake catering in Hundridge, slow-roasted on site
A wake in Hundridge 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 nobody in the family has to cook. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater remembrance gatherings and home wakes.
For a wake near Hundridge, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.
