Planners, venues and businesses

About our funeral wake catering in Forty Hill
After a funeral in Forty Hill, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. We’re often asked to cater gatherings at the family home and memorial events, serving apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and salads.
For a wake in Forty Hill, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Forty Hill questions
Could you cook in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Forty Hill?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What should we provide?
Not much: the space and a contact.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Where can you serve a wake?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
As a London location, Forty Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)

- Rotisserie chicken
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to booking a function room menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Forty Hill
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
