Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A friend or relative we can call
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Clearance from walls and branches
Pimlico is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the roaster
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)

Funeral wake catering in Pimlico, slow-roasted on site
We know families have a lot to arrange: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We’re often asked to cater family get-togethers after a service and gatherings at clubs and pubs, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In Pimlico, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Pimlico
What’s the nearest station to Pimlico?
The closest is London Victoria station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Pimlico?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Generally. Contact us when the date is set and we’ll answer straight away.
What do we need to organise?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We do not offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Why choose funeral wake catering in Pimlico?
Hearty food that most people like, just right after a funeral.
We are regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around Pimlico, such as:
- One-year memorials
- Wakes at home
- Celebration-of-life gatherings
- Family meals after a funeral
If the funeral is at a church such as St Gabriel's, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.

- The menu, including sides and any extras
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-December sunset in Pimlico is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
