About our funeral wake catering in Lodsworth
After a funeral in Lodsworth, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. Whether it is one-year memorials and wakes at home, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For a wake near Lodsworth, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Lodsworth questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Lodsworth close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
Where the roaster can go in Lodsworth
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A safe distance from the hall
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Parking close by for our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Organising for someone else?
