Funeral wake catering in Angel, carved to order
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 try to help. We’re often asked to cater life celebrations and family get-togethers after a service, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In Angel, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Space inside for guests
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- A safe distance from the hall
As a London location, Angel is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with family members cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

FAQs for Angel
What’s the nearest station to Angel?
The closest is London Kings Cross station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Angel?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there an alternative to pork?
We can add alternatives.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What if the service runs late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
