Funeral wake catering in North Street, carved to order
Wakes in North Street happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. Whether it’s ashes ceremonies and celebrations of life, we can cook new potatoes, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In a small place like North Street, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

North Street questions
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We’ll always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
