Slow-roasted pork in Hurlingham
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Funeral wake catering in Hurlingham, slow-roasted on site
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. On the menu are salads, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for one-year memorials and gatherings at clubs and pubs.
Wakes in Hurlingham are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
Every wake is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wake: send us your details through our quote form.
Hurlingham questions
Could you cook in Parsons Green (park)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Hurlingham?
Imperial Wharf station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if people arrive late?
That’s fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Plates and sides make it a full meal.
