About our funeral wake catering in Selsey
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. Typical bookings include remembrance gatherings and one-year memorials, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and salads.
For a wake in Selsey, somewhere close to the church or crematorium helps. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it is dark in Selsey by about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Common questions in Selsey
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Selsey?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you wait?
Name someone we can call and we will adjust.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
