Funeral wake catering in Adelphi, carved to order

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In winter, it’s dark in Adelphi by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Adelphi questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Adelphi?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater after a service at Savoy Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
