How our funeral wake catering works in North End
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. Typical bookings include one-year memorials and pub and club wakes, with apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In North End, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Where the roaster can go in North End
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A hall or room for eating
- Clearance from walls and branches
- Approval from the landlord or committee
North End 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 will advise before you book.
On the menu in North End
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads

- New potatoes

FAQs for North End
Which station is closest to North End?
Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in North End?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
