About our funeral wake catering in Coney Hall
After a funeral in Coney Hall, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and family get-togethers after a service.
In Coney Hall, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Coney Hall: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Coney Hall?
The closest is West Wickham station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Coney Hall?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue and we’ll reply promptly.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short route for the equipment
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- One contact on the day
Coney Hall is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Wakes in Coney Hall are normally in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, but by late December it’s dark at about 3:55pm.

- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
