Slow-roasted pork in Queen's Park
Funeral wake catering in Queen's Park, carved to order
After a funeral in Queen's Park, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. On the menu are apple sauce, salads and roast pork in rolls or on plates, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and wakes in village halls.
For a wake in Queen's Park, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A short route for the equipment
As a London location, Queen's Park 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 will advise.

Queen's Park questions
Which station is closest to Queen's Park?
Queen's Park has its own station: Queens Park (London) station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Queen's Park?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast or other catering?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
