Slow-roasted pork in Neasden
How our funeral wake catering works in Neasden
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 we serve indoors where the venue allows. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for remembrance gatherings and home wakes.
For a wake in Neasden, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
