About our funeral wake catering in Marylebone
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. On the menu are apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for gatherings at the family home and scattering-of-ashes gatherings.
In Marylebone, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Marylebone questions
Could you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Russian chapel on Welbeck Street?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or W1U postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.

For event organisers in Marylebone
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Where the roaster can go in Marylebone
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- A hall or room for eating
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Marylebone 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.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Add chicken as an alternative.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-December sunset in Marylebone is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
