Funeral wake catering in Kilburn
About our funeral wake catering in Kilburn
If the service runs late, we wait: we will hold the food until people arrive. Name someone we can call on the day. For family meals after a funeral and wakes at home, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken and more.
Wakes in Kilburn 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. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

- One contact on the day
- Vehicle access near the cooking area

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-December sunset in Kilburn is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Common questions in Kilburn
Could you cook in Queen’s Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Anne's and St Andrew's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We’ll always try. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Do you come to Kilburn?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
For event organisers in Kilburn
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.
