About our funeral wake catering in Farley Wood
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for memorial gatherings and scattering-of-ashes gatherings.
In Farley Wood, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
