However big or small the event in Battersea, a slow roast goes a long way. Bookings often include:
- Family get-togethers after a service
- Wakes in village halls
- Memorial gatherings
- Scattering-of-ashes gatherings
After a service at Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.
Before booking anyone

- Whether plates or china are included
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- The full menu and the sides
How our funeral wake catering works in Battersea
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. Whether it’s ashes ceremonies and gatherings at clubs and pubs, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
For a wake in Battersea, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
A hog roast or other catering?
If the venue has its own caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled

- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
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:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- A safe distance from the hall
- Permission from the hall or venue
As a London location, Battersea is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
