The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Funeral wake catering near Agar Town
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings at the family home and church and village hall wakes.
For a wake in Agar Town, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Agar Town
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A safe distance from the hall
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
As a London location, Agar Town is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In winter, it is dark in Agar Town 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.

FAQs for Agar Town
Could you cook in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.

Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Frequently, yes. Contact us when the date is set and we will answer straight away.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.

The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What if the service runs late?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
