Funeral wake catering near Southall
A wake in Southall is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for wakes in village halls and gatherings after a cremation.
For a wake in Southall, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Southall
What if our house in Southall has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater after a service at Saint John?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
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 serve rolls or plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
