Funeral wake catering in Leyton, carved to order
Services can run over, and that is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Name someone we can call on the day. Whether it is celebration-of-life gatherings and gatherings after scattering ashes, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken.
In Leyton, 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.

What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from the hall
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
As a London location, Leyton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Leyton
Can you cater after a service at Christian Hope Ministries International?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Leyton Jubilee Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the service runs late?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Is it a sit-down meal?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.

- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Every wake is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wake: send us your details through our quote form.
