A hog roast near Yiewsley
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In winter, it is dark in Yiewsley by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day

How our funeral wake catering works in Yiewsley
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Typical bookings include gatherings at the family home and wakes at a local club, serving salads, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In Yiewsley, 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. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Questions from Yiewsley
Can you do a hog roast in Northala Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if the service runs late?
Give us a contact for the day and we will adjust.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you cater in village halls?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is there an alternative to pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A short route for the equipment
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A hall or room for eating
Yiewsley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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.

A hog roast compared with other options
