How our funeral wake catering works in Midhurst
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater remembrance days and home wakes.
For a wake in a place like Midhurst, the village hall is often the heart of it. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Autumn and winter afternoons in Midhurst get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

- Send final numbers in good time

Midhurst: your questions answered
How far is Midhurst from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where can you serve a wake?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
