Funeral wake catering for Hillingdon
How our funeral wake catering works in Hillingdon
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for gatherings at clubs and pubs and gatherings after scattering ashes.
Wakes in Hillingdon 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. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What affects the price in Hillingdon
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us

Hillingdon questions
What’s the nearest station to Hillingdon?
West Drayton station, about 2.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hillingdon?
Frequently, 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.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Frequently, yes. Contact us when the date is set and we’ll tell you quickly.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In winter, it’s dark in Hillingdon by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
