Funeral wake catering in Eastbury, carved to order
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Popular choices include roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater remembrance gatherings and home wakes.
In rural Eastbury, home or the hall is usual. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Eastbury: your questions answered
How far is Eastbury from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Eastbury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Do you need anything from the family?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Where can you serve a wake?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access near the cooking area

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer wake in Eastbury, there is light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
