Funeral wake catering in Redbridge, carved to order
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for memorial events and gatherings after scattering ashes.
In Redbridge, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In winter, it is dark in Redbridge by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- Space away from the building and any trees
- One contact on the day
As a London location, Redbridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Redbridge: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Valentines Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Often, yes. Get in touch when the date is set and we’ll tell you quickly.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you wait?
That’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
One contact for the day helps, so the family can focus on guests.
