A hog roast near Clay Hill
How our funeral wake catering works in Clay Hill
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. For celebration-of-life gatherings and home wakes, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
For a wake in Clay Hill, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-December sunset in Clay Hill is about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day

- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Questions from Clay Hill
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Enfield Town Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can you serve a wake?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What do we need to organise?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Site access

- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
