Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Peasmarsh
Can you cater after a service at St Michael?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Peasmarsh too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Who books funeral wake catering in Peasmarsh?
If the service runs late, the food waits.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Peasmarsh is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
