Questions from Force Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add alternatives.
Do you cover Force Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Force Green and the rest of Greater London included. Send us the address for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How our funeral wake catering works in Force Green
We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We are often asked to cater hall gatherings after a service and pub and club wakes, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
Wakes in Force Green are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
