Slow-roasted pork in Ickenham
Funeral wake catering in Ickenham, carved to order
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. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater hall gatherings after a service and one-year memorials.
In Ickenham, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A level outdoor area
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Approval from the landlord or committee
Ickenham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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 will advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Request gluten-free rolls
We dress smartly and keep a low profile.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In late September, sunset in Ickenham is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Questions from Ickenham
What if our house in Ickenham has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Ickenham?
The closest is West Ruislip station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
