Arranging a wake in Roehampton
Roehampton is about 2 miles south-west of Fulham, in Greater London. Planning a hog roast for the wake in Roehampton? We can help. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. Our bookings stretch from Roehampton to London (7 miles away).
If there is not room at home, a hall or club near Roehampton may suit. If the funeral is at a church such as St Margaret's Church, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
For wakes in SW15 and SW13, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Local streets include Rodway Road, Cortis Road and Torwood Road; a wake on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For wakes just outside Roehampton, we cover Putney (1 mile north-east), Barnes (1 mile north), Mortlake (1 mile north-west), East Sheen (1 mile north-west) and Putney Vale (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as London (7 miles north-east), City of Westminster (5 miles north-east), Marylebone (6 miles north-east), Kensington (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (7 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-east).

Funeral wake catering near Roehampton
Services can run over, and that is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. We’re often asked to cater life celebrations and scattering-of-ashes gatherings, serving roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a wake in Roehampton, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Summer evenings in Roehampton stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- We serve calmly as people arrive.
- We pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to sandwiches, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
