About our funeral wake catering in Kensal Town
We know families have a lot to arrange: one call, one quote and quiet, reliable service. We serve rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after a cremation and celebration-of-life gatherings.
In Kensal Town, 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 hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What else we do in Kensal Town
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Autumn and winter afternoons in Kensal Town get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

Kensal Town: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kensal Town?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St Thomas Kensal Town: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you wait?
Give us a contact for the day and we will adjust.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
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.

- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
