A hog roast near Walton
Funeral wake catering near Walton
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. On the menu are salads, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for gatherings at clubs and pubs and family get-togethers after a service.
For a wake near Walton, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

FAQs for Walton
Is Walton close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from the hall
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A hall or room for eating
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn and winter afternoons in Walton get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
