Funeral wake catering for Hyde farm estate
Funeral wake catering near Hyde farm estate
While you are at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for scattering-of-ashes gatherings and pub and club wakes.
In Hyde farm estate, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A friend or relative we can call
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Hyde farm estate 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
