How our funeral wake catering works in Dancers Hill
After a funeral in Dancers Hill, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. We serve halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for gatherings at the family home and memorial events.
In Dancers Hill, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Dancers Hill: your questions answered
Could you cook in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Dancers Hill?
The closest is Potters Bar station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How much room do you 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 picture helps.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
