A hog roast near Peckham
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
About our funeral wake catering in Peckham
Funerals are usually planned within a week or two. Get in touch as soon as the date is set, and we will give you a quick answer. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and salads, and typical bookings are for memorial events and life celebrations.
Wakes in Peckham 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. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How we price a hog roast for the wake
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every wake is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Peckham
Could you cook in Brimmington Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Peckham?
Peckham has its own station: Queens Road Peckham station.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In late September, sunset in Peckham is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
