Funeral wake catering for Littleworth
Common questions in Littleworth
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater?
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.
How far is Littleworth from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Often, yes. Get in touch when the date is set and we’ll answer straight away.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Funeral wake catering in Littleworth, slow-roasted on site
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We are often asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and one-year memorials, with apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken.
Near Littleworth, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What affects the price in Littleworth
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
