How our funeral wake catering works in Twickenham
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. We serve halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes, and we are often booked for one-year memorials and gatherings at clubs and pubs.
In Twickenham, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.

We work out each quote from:

- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices

Send us the date, the address or TW1 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot food feels more caring. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Twickenham

- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal

For event organisers in Twickenham
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from the building and any trees
As a London location, Twickenham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Twickenham questions
Can you cater after a service at Salvation Army?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Twickenham?
The closest is Twickenham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do we need to organise?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We will handle the rest.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
