Funeral wake catering in North Cheam, slow-roasted on site
We know families have a lot to arrange: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. Whether it’s wakes at home and memorial events, we can cook apple sauce, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
Wakes in North Cheam are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in North Cheam
Can you do a hog roast in Nonsuch Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Oswald Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details and we will reply promptly.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to North Cheam
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What else we do in North Cheam
Where the roaster can go in North Cheam
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short route for the equipment
- A friend or relative we can call
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, North Cheam is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-December sunset in North Cheam is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
