How our funeral wake catering works in Crofton Park
We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and wakes at a local club.
Wakes in Crofton Park are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Crofton Park
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Crofton Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Hilda: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Often, yes. Get in touch when the date is set and we’ll tell you quickly.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Before you choose a spot
