Funeral wake catering in North Street, slow-roasted on site
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, so food is ready when people arrive. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. Typical bookings include hall gatherings after a service and gatherings at the family home, with apple sauce, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken.
Near North Street, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-December sunset in North Street is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in North Street
Is North Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater in North Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, North Street and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
