Funeral wake catering for Shripney
For event organisers in Shripney
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Funeral wake catering in Shripney, slow-roasted on site
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. For one-year memorials and life celebrations, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and salads.
For a wake near Shripney, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Shripney
We are gathering after a service at Holy Cross 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Shripney?
Bognor Regis station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We’ll handle the rest.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We will always try. Tell us the details and we’ll reply promptly.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why choose a hog roast in Shripney?
Compared with family members cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us
