Book a hog roast in Tolworth
Tolworth: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Emmanuel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if our house in Tolworth 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.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Funeral wake catering in Tolworth, carved to order
Services can run over, and that is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are often booked for memorial gatherings and wakes at a local club.
In Tolworth, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours.

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In winter, it’s dark in Tolworth by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access

- Give us final numbers a week or so before
