Funeral wake catering in Leaves Green, slow-roasted on site
We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. Popular choices include roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater one-year memorials and wakes in village halls.
Wakes in Leaves Green are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours.

- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- Clearance from walls and branches
- Approval from the landlord or committee
Leaves Green 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wake in Leaves Green, there’s light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.

- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive

Questions from Leaves Green
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Leaves Green?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you need anything from the family?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
