Funeral wake catering in Bexleyheath
How our funeral wake catering works in Bexleyheath
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. Whether it’s family meals after a funeral and wakes at home, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, salads and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For a wake in Bexleyheath, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- One contact on the day
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
As a London location, Bexleyheath is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Bexleyheath
Which station is closest to Bexleyheath?
Bexleyheath station, in Bexleyheath itself.
Can you cater after a service at Trinity Baptist Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
