Funeral wake catering in Kingston Vale, carved to order

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In late September, sunset in Kingston Vale is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
