Our funeral wake catering in City of London
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for family meals after a funeral and wakes in village halls.
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
