Funeral wake catering in Foxbury, slow-roasted on site
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. We’re often asked to cater celebration-of-life gatherings and hall gatherings after a service, with new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and halloumi skewers.
In Foxbury, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Organising for someone else?

FAQs for Foxbury
Can you do a hog roast in Chislehurst Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Foxbury?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
