Funeral wake catering near Mop End
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For scattering-of-ashes gatherings and church and village hall wakes, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your guests.
In rural Mop End, home or the hall is usual. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For event organisers in Mop End
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Most wakes in Mop End are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- A short route for the equipment
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from the building and any trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Mop End questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What should we provide?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What if the service runs late?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
Do you cover Mop End?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Mop End and Buckinghamshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
