Funeral wake catering in Little Portugal, carved to order
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there’s anything special and we will try to help. For celebrations of life and gatherings at the family home, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
In Little Portugal, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family isn’t disturbed.
Add chicken as an alternative.

As a London location, Little Portugal is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What else we do in Little Portugal
Questions from Little Portugal
Can you cater after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Little Portugal?
The closest is Wandsworth Road station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do something else?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: plates with sides or simple rolls.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
For event organisers in Little Portugal
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Read how we price or the cost guide.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
