Funeral wake catering in Langton Green
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Funeral wake catering near Langton Green
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Typical bookings include family meals after a funeral and pub and club wakes, with halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken.
In Langton Green, the hall is often where people gather, and its grounds suit the roaster. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
For event organisers in Langton Green
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day
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 winter, it is dark in Langton Green 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.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
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. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Add chicken as an alternative.

Langton Green: your questions answered
How far is Langton Green from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
