Funeral wake catering near West Drayton
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there is anything special and we will do our best. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for home wakes and memorial events.
In West Drayton, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In late September, sunset in West Drayton is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Clearance from walls and branches
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, West Drayton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
