How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in New Southgate is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.

- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We clear away discreetly.

How our funeral wake catering works in New Southgate
A wake in New Southgate is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for wakes in village halls and celebration-of-life gatherings.
Wakes in New Southgate are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
