Funeral wake catering in Middle Park, carved to order
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal, or rolls keep it simple. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. We are often asked to cater home wakes and wakes in village halls, with halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes.
In Middle Park, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Clearance from walls and branches

Questions from Middle Park
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Saviour: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Horn Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Halal is not available.
What if people arrive late?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
