Slow-roasted pork in Streatham
How our funeral wake catering works in Streatham
After a funeral in Streatham, 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. We’re often asked to cater pub and club wakes and memorial gatherings, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In Streatham, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- Permission from the hall or venue
- A safe distance from the hall
Streatham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Questions from Streatham
Can you do a hog roast in Streatham Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Streatham has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cater at home?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do we need to organise?
Very little: the space and a contact.
