Funeral wake catering in Single Street, slow-roasted on site
After a funeral in Single Street, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. Roast pork in a roll or on a plate is comforting and familiar, and it takes the cooking off the family. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, roast pork in rolls or on plates and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for gatherings at the family home and celebrations of life.
Wakes in Single Street are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Space inside for guests
- A safe distance from the hall
As a London location, Single Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Autumn and winter afternoons in Single Street get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
