Slow-roasted pork in Sudbury
How our funeral wake catering works in Sudbury
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Typical bookings include family get-togethers after a service and wakes at a local club, serving new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.
In Sudbury, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level outdoor area
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Clearance from walls and branches
Sudbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the roaster
- New potatoes
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wake in Sudbury. In winter, it’s dark in Sudbury by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
