About our funeral wake catering in Bellingham
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We serve rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for ashes ceremonies and family meals after a funeral.
Wakes in Bellingham are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Bellingham questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Dunstan: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Bellingham has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you wait?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wake. For a summer wake in Bellingham, there’s light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
