Funeral wake catering in Nutfield, carved to order
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater celebration-of-life gatherings and memorial events.
In a small place like Nutfield, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

Questions from Nutfield
How far is Nutfield from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you cover Nutfield?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Nutfield and Surrey. Send us the address for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. Late-December sunset in Nutfield is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
