Funeral wake catering in Shepperton, carved to order
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll do our best. Whether it’s celebrations of life and anniversary memorials, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, new potatoes and salads for your guests.
In Shepperton, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Shepperton
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In late September, sunset in Shepperton is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
