Funeral wake catering in Brentford, slow-roasted on site
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there is anything special and we will try to help. Typical bookings include family get-togethers after a service and memorial events, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
In Brentford, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Autumn and winter afternoons in Brentford get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Space away from the building and any trees
Brentford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Coleslaw
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. 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.
Why Brentford hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Brentford: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Brentford?
Brentford station, in Brentford itself.
Can you cater after a service at Congregational Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We’ll always try. Tell us the details for a quick answer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where can you serve a wake?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Check with family about dietary needs
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Add chicken as an alternative.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
