Funeral wake catering in Tower Hamlets, slow-roasted on site
After a funeral in Tower Hamlets, people need somewhere to gather and something warm to eat. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and nobody in the family has to cook. Popular choices include roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for gatherings at clubs and pubs and family get-togethers after a service.
For a wake in a place like Tower Hamlets, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its grounds suit the roaster. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Summer evenings in Tower Hamlets stay light until about 9:15pm, so a garden gathering works well.

For planners, venues and organisers

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Check with family about dietary needs
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
