Funeral wake catering near Wormley
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. Typical bookings include wakes at a local club and remembrance gatherings, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
Near Wormley, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.

Wormley: your questions answered
Is Wormley close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you come to Wormley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Wormley and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
