Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.

About our funeral wake catering in West Studdal
Wake catering across West Studdal and Kent, at homes, halls and venues, with the roast cooked on site. For family get-togethers after a service and pub and club wakes, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a small place like West Studdal, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
