Funeral wake catering in Heath Park
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level outdoor area
- A friend or relative we can call
- Clearance from walls and branches
As a London location, Heath Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Funeral wake catering in Heath Park, slow-roasted on site
Services can run over, and that is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for wakes at home and wakes in village halls.
For a wake in Heath Park, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Heath Park: your questions answered
Could you cook in Haynes Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Alban Church of England: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you cater at home?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What if people arrive late?
Give us a contact for the day and we will adjust.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Prices and what affects them

- How many people are eating

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
