Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the venue has its own caterer, check whether we can cater there. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Funeral wake catering in Morden, slow-roasted on site
After a funeral in Morden, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. For memorial gatherings and wakes in village halls, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In Morden, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Questions from Morden
Can you cater after a service at St Lawrence Church?
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. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Morden?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.

Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people

The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wake in Morden, there’s light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time

It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Permission from the hall or venue

- A friend or relative we can call
