Funeral wake catering in Lambeth, carved to order
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll try to help. On the menu are roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater scattering-of-ashes gatherings and wakes at home.
In Lambeth, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Check with family about dietary needs
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Let us know if there’s something the person especially liked.
