After a funeral in Slindon
Slindon is about 6 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Slindon and the surrounding area are covered for wakes. Slindon is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Slindon to Brighton (22 miles away).
Families holding a service at The Parish Church of St Mary frequently gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the roast can be ready. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Slindon; tell us about access if the wake is somewhere rural. Slindon is within about 6 miles of the sea, and coastal halls can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered cooking spot.
This part of West Sussex takes in BN18. Your wake could be at a house on School Hill, Dyers Lane and Slindon Top Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Slindon, we also cover Slindon Common (1 mile south-east), Fontwell (1 mile south-west), Avisford (1 mile south-east), Walberton (1 mile south) and Binsted (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (11 miles east), Bognor Regis (6 miles south-west), Chichester (7 miles west), Selsey (11 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles south-east) and Lancing (14 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Arundel and District Hospital (3 miles east) and Tote Copse Castle (3.4 miles south-west). The countryside around Slindon includes Bignor Hill and WWT Arundel.
- Local schools include Ormiston Six Villages Academy (2.3 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The Newburgh Arms Public House (under half a mile east)

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Slindon
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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.
Can you roast near the sea around Slindon?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives.
Do you cover Slindon?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Slindon and the rest of West Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Autumn and winter afternoons in Slindon get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
Send us the date, the address or BN18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space inside for guests
- A level outdoor area
- A friend or relative we can call
