Slow-roasted pork in Notting Hill
Funeral wake catering in Notting Hill, carved to order
After a funeral in Notting Hill, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and nobody in the family has to cook. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater hall gatherings after a service and celebration-of-life gatherings.
In Notting Hill, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

- One contact on the day

Questions from Notting Hill
Can you do a hog roast in Holland Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Notting Hill: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if people arrive late?
Give us a contact for the day and we’ll serve when everyone is there.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
