How our funeral wake catering works in Edgware
We know families have a lot to arrange: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are frequently booked for hall gatherings after a service and wakes at home.
In Edgware, 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. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in Edgware is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive

FAQs for Edgware
What if our house in Edgware has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Stoneyfields Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you wait?
That’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Often, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will answer straight away.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Why choose a hog roast in Edgware?
Compared with family members cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Edgware hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved to order by a chef
- Serving and clearing done for you
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level outdoor area
- A friend or relative we can call
- Clearance from walls and branches
Edgware is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
