Funeral wake catering for Yeading
Funeral wake catering in Yeading, carved to order
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. We’re often asked to cater celebrations of life and wakes in village halls, with rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads.
In Yeading, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the venue has its own caterer, check whether we can cater there. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Yeading: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Yeading?
Southall station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.
Can you do something else?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you wait?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In winter, it’s dark in Yeading by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.

Planning help
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
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
As a London location, Yeading is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
