Funeral wake catering in Stoke Newington, slow-roasted on site

Stoke Newington: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Old Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if our house in Stoke Newington has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Frequently, yes. Get in touch when the date is set and we’ll answer right away.
Can you wait?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A hall or room for eating
- Space away from the building and any trees
As a London location, Stoke Newington 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
