About our funeral wake catering in Osterley
We know families have a lot to arrange: one call, one quote and quiet, reliable service. We’re frequently asked to cater family meals after a funeral and ashes ceremonies, serving apple sauce, new potatoes and salads.
In Osterley, 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. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

For event organisers in Osterley
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A friend or relative we can call
As a London location, Osterley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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’ll advise.
