Funeral wake catering near The Hyde
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there is anything special and we’ll try to help. Typical bookings include remembrance days and family meals after a funeral, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads.
In The Hyde, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What’s the nearest station to The Hyde?
Hendon station, in The Hyde itself.
Could you cook in West Hendon Playing Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Typically. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater in The Hyde?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
