Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.

Common questions in Clapham Park
What’s the nearest station to Clapham Park?
Clapham High Street station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.

How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cover Clapham Park?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In winter, it is dark in Clapham Park by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
