Funeral wake catering in Plashet
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In winter, it’s dark in Plashet by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

About our funeral wake catering in Plashet
Services can run over, and that’s fine: we will hold the food until people arrive. Name someone we can call on the day. Typical bookings include ashes ceremonies and pub and club wakes, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
Wakes in Plashet are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. The hog is roasted on site at your wake, slowly, over several hours.

FAQs for Plashet
Can you do a hog roast in West Ham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Plashet?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What should we provide?
Very little: the space and a contact.
Can you wait?
That’s fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We will always try. Send the date and venue and we’ll reply promptly.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the alternatives labelled
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
