Funeral wake catering in Bexley
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Most wakes in Bexley are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:50pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

How our funeral wake catering works in Bexley
Wakes in Bexley happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Typical bookings include gatherings at clubs and pubs and gatherings at the family home, serving salads, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Wakes in Bexley 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. 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.

Bexley questions
Could you cook in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A friend or relative we can call
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Approval from the landlord or committee
Bexley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
