Planning an event in Gordon Hill?
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in Gordon Hill
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you

Funeral wake catering in Gordon Hill, carved to order
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we are often booked for celebration-of-life gatherings and ashes ceremonies.
In Gordon Hill, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Our staff are discreet and respectful throughout.

Gordon Hill: your questions answered
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.
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael & All Angels: 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details for a quick answer.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.

For event organisers in Gordon Hill
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Where the roaster can go in Gordon Hill
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space inside for guests
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
Gordon Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
