Slow-roasted pork in Harmondsworth
How our funeral wake catering works in Harmondsworth
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re frequently booked for church and village hall wakes and remembrance gatherings.
Wakes in Harmondsworth 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. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In late September, sunset in Harmondsworth is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Served at the time you choose
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
