How our funeral wake catering works in Motspur Park
A wake might be at home, a village or church hall, a club or a pub. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and the food can be served inside. We are often asked to cater home wakes and gatherings after a cremation, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and salads.
In Motspur Park, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We serve when people arrive, quietly and respectfully.
Ask about china.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Clearance from walls and branches
- One contact on the day
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
Motspur Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
