About our funeral wake catering in Uxbridge
Services can run over, and that’s fine: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Give us a contact for the day. Typical bookings include scattering-of-ashes gatherings and remembrance days, with rotisserie chicken, salads and apple sauce.
For a wake in a place like Uxbridge, the village hall is often the heart of it. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In winter, it is dark in Uxbridge by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We dress smartly and keep a low profile throughout.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
For event organisers in Uxbridge
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

- A hall or room for eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?

Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Generally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
