Common questions in Fitzrovia
Can you do a hog roast in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Whitefield's Tabernacle: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
How our funeral wake catering works in Fitzrovia
Wake catering across Fitzrovia and Greater London, wherever the family gathers. We are frequently asked to cater gatherings after a cremation and remembrance gatherings, serving halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce.
In Fitzrovia, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- All the equipment comes with us
- Sides to make it a full meal

For a service at a church like Whitefield's Tabernacle, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests. Relatives arriving by train should know that Fitzrovia has its own station, London Euston station.
This part of Greater London takes in NW1W, W1T and W1G. Streets in the area include Euston Road, Duke's Road and Market Place, and a wake on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
We serve when people arrive, calmly and without fuss.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In late September, sunset in Fitzrovia is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
