Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Brixton
What’s the nearest station to Brixton?
Brixton has its own station: Brixton station.
We’re gathering after a service at Trinity Congregational Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.

Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Funeral wake catering near Brixton
A wake in Brixton is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. On the menu are salads, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for celebrations of life and one-year memorials.
In Brixton, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- Clearance from walls and branches
As a London location, Brixton 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.

A hog roast or other catering?

- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Planned to your running order

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In late September, sunset in Brixton is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
