- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

How our funeral wake catering works in South Ealing
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll do our best. We are often asked to cater memorial events and celebrations of life, serving apple sauce, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
Wakes in South Ealing are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Autumn and winter afternoons in South Ealing get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- 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 roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
