Funeral wake catering in Chessington
About our funeral wake catering in Chessington
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings after a cremation and celebration-of-life gatherings, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and salads.
In Chessington, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. 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.

Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Let us know if there is something the person especially liked.
