Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Funeral wake catering near Peaks Hill
We roast quietly on site while the service takes place, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We’re often asked to cater ashes ceremonies and family meals after a funeral, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
In Peaks Hill, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Questions from Peaks Hill
What’s the nearest station to Peaks Hill?
The closest is Purley station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could you cook in Carshalton Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can you serve a wake?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What if people arrive late?
That is fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Most wakes in Peaks Hill are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
