Funeral wake catering near Leamouth
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. We serve salads, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re frequently booked for ashes ceremonies and gatherings at clubs and pubs.
In Leamouth, a hall with outdoor space is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Timings are planned around your wake, working back from when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Add chicken as an alternative.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Where the roaster can go in Leamouth
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Clearance from walls and branches
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
Leamouth is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
