Funeral wake catering near Seven Kings
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Tell us what matters to you and we will try to help. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater ashes ceremonies and memorial gatherings.
In Seven Kings, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
If the service runs late, we wait.

Common questions in Seven Kings
Which station is closest to Seven Kings?
Seven Kings station, in Seven Kings itself.
Could you cook in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Give us a contact for the day and we will serve when everyone is there.
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.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wake in Seven Kings, there is light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
