About our funeral wake catering in Cyprus
If the service runs late, we wait: we’ll hold the food until people arrive. Give us a contact for the day. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re regularly asked to cater remembrance days and scattering-of-ashes gatherings.
In Cyprus, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Cyprus
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Cyprus?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer wake in Cyprus, there’s light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A friend or relative we can call
As a London location, Cyprus is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
On the menu in Cyprus

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or E6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
