About our funeral wake catering in Milton Regis
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. Whether it’s scattering-of-ashes gatherings and celebration-of-life gatherings, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In rural Milton Regis, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Autumn and winter afternoons in Milton Regis get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.

Questions from Milton Regis
Is Milton Regis too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll adjust.
Can you cater in Milton Regis?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Milton Regis and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
