About our funeral wake catering in Chelsea Harbour
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Typical bookings include anniversary memorials and ashes ceremonies, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
Wakes in Chelsea Harbour are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. 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.

What affects the price in Chelsea Harbour
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Chelsea Harbour
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
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, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear

Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- One contact on the day
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
Chelsea Harbour is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in Chelsea Harbour

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Request gluten-free rolls
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
