How our funeral wake catering works in Osidge
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who does not eat pork. Popular choices include roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and salads, and typical bookings are for hall gatherings after a service and remembrance days.
Wakes in Osidge are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Osidge: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Andrew's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Osidge?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Osidge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In late September, sunset in Osidge is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
