How our funeral wake catering works in South Harrow
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. We’re often asked to cater one-year memorials and celebrations of life, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
In South Harrow, a hall with outdoor space is often the easiest option, though home can work with a garden and side access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In winter, it’s dark in South Harrow by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
