Funeral wake catering in Bopeep
How our funeral wake catering works in Bopeep
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. Popular choices include apple sauce, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and typical bookings are for ashes ceremonies and pub and club wakes.
In Bopeep, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat.

What else we do in Bopeep
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Most wakes in Bopeep are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

FAQs for Bopeep
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Bopeep?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you cater after a service at Mission Chapel?
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. Send us the address.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Do you cater in village halls?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, given an outdoor cooking area.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Normally. Get in touch when the date is set and we will tell you quickly.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
