Funeral wake catering for Newbury Park
Funeral wake catering in Newbury Park, carved to order
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there’s anything special and we will try to help. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater church and village hall wakes and gatherings at the family home.
Wakes in Newbury Park are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

FAQs for Newbury Park
We are gathering after a service at Saint Laurence Church: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Newbury Park?
The closest is Seven Kings station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Usually. Contact us when the date is set and we will tell you quickly.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you do something else?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
A hog roast compared with other options

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Clearance from walls and branches
Newbury Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
