Funeral wake catering near Kingston
If the service runs late, we wait: we will hold the food until people arrive. Give us a contact for the day. For remembrance days and gatherings after scattering ashes, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In Kingston, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- All the equipment comes with us
- A clear quote with everything listed

- A hall or room for eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Kingston questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Kingston close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
