Funeral wake catering in Gillette Corner
How our funeral wake catering works in Gillette Corner
Funerals are typically planned within a week or two. Contact us as soon as you have a date, and we’ll tell you straight away whether we can help. Typical bookings include celebrations of life and family meals after a funeral, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In Gillette Corner, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A hall or room for eating
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- A short route for the equipment
As a London location, Gillette Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
If the service runs late, we wait.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
