How our funeral wake catering works in Wealdstone
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. We are often asked to cater wakes in village halls and celebration-of-life gatherings, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In Wealdstone, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Wealdstone questions
We are gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Wealdstone?
Wealdstone has its own station: Harrow & Wealdstone station.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In winter, it’s dark in Wealdstone by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: fill in our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Add chicken as an alternative.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
