Funeral wake catering near Hoxton
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Whether it’s gatherings at the family home and ashes ceremonies, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce for your guests.
In Hoxton, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Questions from Hoxton
Can you do a hog roast in Shoreditch Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Hoxton?
Hoxton has its own station: Hoxton station.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we provide?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
