Funeral wake catering in Cheam, carved to order

For a wake in Cheam, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

After a funeral in Cheam
Cheam is about 1 mile south-west of Sutton, in Greater London. Cheam and the surrounding area are covered for wakes. We bring hog roasts to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 12 miles away.
For family travelling by train, the closest railway station is Cheam station, roughly 0.6 miles north of the centre. If the funeral is at a church such as Church of St Andrew, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Cheam, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.

Your wake could be at a house on Wray Road, York Road and The Avenue or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Check with family about dietary needs
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Questions from Cheam
Can you do a hog roast in Howell Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Cheam has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wake in Cheam, there is light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
Getting a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SM2 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A short route for the equipment
- A safe distance from the hall
- Space inside for guests
Cheam 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.
