Funeral wake catering in South Acton, carved to order
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Whether it is remembrance days and pub and club wakes, we can cook new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads.
For a wake in South Acton, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
See how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wake: use our quote form.
South Acton questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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.
Which station is closest to South Acton?
South Acton station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Most wakes in South Acton are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
