Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Harlington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Funeral wake catering near Harlington
If the service runs late, we wait: we will hold the food until people arrive. Name someone we can call on the day. We serve salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for ashes ceremonies and wakes at home.
Wakes in Harlington are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
For event organisers in Harlington
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Harlington
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In late September, sunset in Harlington is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

FAQs for Harlington
What’s the nearest station to Harlington?
Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Often, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll answer right away.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What if things run late?
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.
Can you serve on plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Why choose a hog roast in Harlington?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
