How our funeral wake catering works in Soho
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Tell us what matters to you and we will do our best. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for gatherings at clubs and pubs and wakes at home.
Wakes in Soho are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. We need an outdoor spot to cook. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

After a funeral in Soho

Relatives driving in can use the A4 and A301 to reach Soho. For a service at a church like St Anne's Church, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests.
We cover wakes in every part of the W1F, W1T and W1D postcode area. Local streets include Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane; a wake on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Soho is on the A4 and A301, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment.

Where the roaster can go in Soho
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- Space inside for guests
As a London location, Soho 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 you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Soho
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Soho?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What if people arrive late?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Often, yes. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will answer straight away.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Ask close family about dietary needs
Food is served as everyone gathers, calmly and without fuss.
Add chicken as an alternative.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is frequently simpler. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
