How our funeral wake catering works in Morton
A wake in Morton 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. Typical bookings include wakes in village halls and one-year memorials, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
For a wake near Morton, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Why choose a hog roast in Morton?
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What else we do in Morton
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- A friend or relative we can call
- A hall or room for eating
Morton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Morton: halls, homes and travel
Morton is about 1 mile north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your wake is in Morton, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. We bring hog roasts to all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
For family travelling by train, the nearest station is Brading station, about 0.6 miles north-east. Morton is on or near the A3055, handy for relatives driving in. Morton is within about a mile of the sea, and coastal halls can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered cooking spot.
Anywhere in PO36, we can roast on site for your guests. We can cater a wake on streets such as New Road, Wrax Road and Morton Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Morton is on the A3055, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. Close by, we cover wakes in Yarbridge (1 mile north-east), Brading (1 mile north-east), Adgestone (1 mile west), Yaverland (1 mile south-east) and Sandown (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Newport (7 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). Some remote sites need extra planning, so ask early about your wake.

- Local schools include The Bay Church of England School (1.2 miles south-west) and Sandown Bay Academy (1.3 miles south-west)

Morton: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Morton 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.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
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.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What do we need to organise?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We’ll handle the rest.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In winter, it’s dark in Morton by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Before we arrive

- Gather dietary requirements early
How to get a price

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
