About our funeral wake catering in North Greenwich
Wakes in North Greenwich happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. For gatherings at the family home and celebration-of-life gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads for your guests.
For a wake in North Greenwich, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest, 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.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from walls and branches
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Parking close by for our vehicle
North Greenwich is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late September, sunset in North Greenwich is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
