Funeral wake catering in Queensbury, slow-roasted on site
We know families have a lot to arrange: one call, one quote and quiet, reliable service. For pub and club wakes and memorial gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
For a wake in Queensbury, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Questions from Queensbury
What’s the nearest station to Queensbury?
The closest is Kenton station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater in Queensbury?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
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.
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.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where the roaster can go in Queensbury
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A friend or relative we can call
- A short route for the equipment
Queensbury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
