Funeral wake catering in Sundridge, carved to order
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. On the menu are salads, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and typical bookings are for pub and club wakes and remembrance gatherings.
In a small place like Sundridge, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to sandwiches, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- All the equipment comes with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
