About our funeral wake catering in Tutt Hill
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it’s memorial gatherings and remembrance days, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and apple sauce.
In rural Tutt Hill, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Tutt Hill is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
We bring hog roasts to wakes all over TN26.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.
Ask about china.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In winter, it’s dark in Tutt Hill by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
