About our funeral wake catering in Grange Mills
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings at the family home and wakes at a local club.
For a wake in Grange Mills, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Grange Mills
We are gathering after a service at MCC South London: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Wandsworth Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if the service runs late?
Give us a contact for the day and we will serve when everyone is there.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you come to Grange Mills?
Yes, Grange Mills is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
