Funeral wake catering near Grange Park
Wakes in Grange Park happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. For gatherings after a cremation and celebrations of life, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, new potatoes and salads.
For a wake in Grange Park, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- A short route for the equipment
- Space away from the building and any trees
Grange Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the family can focus on guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
Questions from Grange Park
Can you do a hog roast in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Grange Park?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In winter, it’s dark in Grange Park by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
