About our funeral wake catering in Chadwell Heath
After a funeral in Chadwell Heath, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. Whether it’s gatherings after scattering ashes and gatherings after a cremation, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In Chadwell Heath, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Common questions in Chadwell Heath
Can you cater after a service at St Chad's 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Chadwell Heath has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We’ll always try. Tell us the details and we’ll reply promptly.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.

We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Numbers

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A safe distance from the hall
- A friend or relative we can call
As a London location, Chadwell Heath 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In winter, it’s dark in Chadwell Heath by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
