How our funeral wake catering works in Regents Park
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option are there for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For gatherings at clubs and pubs and memorial events, we can cook roast pork in rolls or on plates, apple sauce and salads and more.
In Regents Park, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about outdoor space for the roaster. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Questions from Regents Park
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wake in Regents Park, there’s light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
