How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In late September, sunset in Mayfair is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

FAQs for Mayfair
What’s the nearest station to Mayfair?
Mayfair has its own station: Bond Street station.
Could you cook in Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if people arrive late?
We wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

After a funeral in Mayfair
Mayfair is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Planning a hog roast for the wake in Mayfair? We cover the whole area. We bring hog roasts to 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
After a service at Grosvenor Chapel, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone. If there isn’t room at home, a hall or club near Mayfair may suit.
For wakes in W1K, W1F and W1U, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. That could mean a wake in a garden on Park Lane, Bruton Lane and Market Mews, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Main roads around Mayfair include the A4201 and A4202, so getting the roaster to your wake is simple. Close by, we cover wakes in Burlington Estate (1 mile east), City of Westminster (1 mile north-west), Marylebone (1 mile north), St James's (1 mile east) and Chinatown (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Shoreditch (3 miles east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west) and Ruislip (12 miles west).

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
