How our funeral wake catering works in Park Royal
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 we serve indoors where the venue allows. Whether it is gatherings at the family home and ashes ceremonies, we can cook salads, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce.
In Park Royal, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Site access
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer evenings in Park Royal stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Park Royal: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St Gabriel's Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
China crockery is available on request.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Park Royal is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
