Slow-roasted pork in Sulhamstead
Funeral wake catering near Sulhamstead
Wakes in Sulhamstead happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. Typical bookings include ashes ceremonies and home wakes, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
In rural Sulhamstead, home or the hall is usual. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Questions from Sulhamstead
Do you come out to small places like Sulhamstead?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wake in Sulhamstead, there’s light until about 9:25pm, so a garden gathering works well.

Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
