About our funeral wake catering in Slinfold
We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater life celebrations and anniversary memorials.
In rural Slinfold, home or the hall is usual. 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.

Slinfold questions
Is Slinfold too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Farlington Strood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater at home?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wake in Slinfold, there is light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or RH13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
