Slow-roasted pork in Bromley
About our funeral wake catering in Bromley
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. On the menu are apple sauce, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and typical bookings are for wakes in village halls and memorial events.
For a wake in Bromley, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Bromley: halls, homes and travel
Bromley is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. We take a hog roast for the wake to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Bromley and the surrounding area. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London.
If relatives are coming by rail, the nearest station is West Ham station, about 1 mile east. If there isn’t room at home, a hall or club near Bromley may suit.
For wakes in E3, E14 and E15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Your wake could be at a house on Bow Road, Bruce Road and Edgar Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Bromley, we also cover Three Mills (1 mile north-east), Mill Meads (1 mile north-east), Bow Common (1 mile south-west), Mile End (1 mile west) and Bow (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (4 miles south-west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include London Gas Museum (0.5 miles east) and Park (1.1 miles north-west). Open spaces near Bromley include Old Ford Island and Tower Hill.
- Nearby schools include Bow School (under half a mile north-west) and East London Arts & Music (under half a mile east)
- Local pubs include The Widow's Son pub (less than half a mile south)
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A short route for the equipment
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Bromley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
