Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How our funeral wake catering works in Greengate
We cater wakes in Greengate and the surrounding area, wherever the family gathers, with the roast cooked on site. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and typical bookings are for gatherings after a cremation and memorial events.
Wakes in Greengate are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

A hog roast or other catering?
Some families mix a hog roast with cakes brought by friends. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved to order by a chef
- A clear quote with everything listed

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In winter, it’s dark in Greengate by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We set up and roast while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wake: send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Greengate
Can you do a hog roast in West Ham 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 Greengate?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you wait?
That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Where can you serve a wake?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
