Funeral wake catering near Camden Town
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. On the menu are salads, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater memorial events and celebration-of-life gatherings.
In Camden Town, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat.

For event organisers in Camden Town
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Check with family about dietary needs
One contact for the day helps, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Summer evenings in Camden Town stay light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
