Book a hog roast in Surrey

Our funeral wake catering in Surrey

Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll do our best. We serve new potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for one-year memorials and scattering-of-ashes gatherings.

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook.

  1. Contact us as soon as you have a date.
  2. We confirm the space.
  3. We set up and roast on the day.
  4. We serve quietly.
  5. We tidy up and go.

  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Near you in Guildford

Bookings here are frequently close to Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School and the streets around them. Also close by are Church of St John the Evangelist (less than half a mile east), Stoke Park (within half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (under half a mile south-east). The closest station to Guildford is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east. Nearby you’ll also find Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Within reach you will find Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

After a funeral in Surrey

Wakes across Surrey are held at homes, halls, clubs and pubs, from Guildford, Woking and Camberley to its 276 villages and hamlets. We need somewhere level outside to cook. Parts of Surrey are within a few miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.

Guildford: Relatives arriving by train should know that London Road (Guildford) station is about 0.6 miles away. Guildford is on or near the A3 and A25, handy for relatives driving in. Most wakes in Guildford are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Planners, venues and businesses

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

What the cooking area needs

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
  • A friend or relative we can call
  • Flat ground outside the hall or house

What comes off the roaster

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.

Stuffing and apple sauce

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
