About our funeral wake catering in Newington Green
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes in village halls and gatherings after scattering ashes.
For a wake in Newington Green, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Newington Green questions
Could you cook in Highbury Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at Newington Green Unitarian Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Frequently, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll answer right away.
Do you come to Newington Green?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
