FAQs for Tower Hill
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter ad Vincula: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in William Curtis Ecological Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do you come to Tower Hill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Where can you serve a wake?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
About our funeral wake catering in Tower Hill
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there’s anything special and we will do our best. Whether it is gatherings after scattering ashes and memorial gatherings, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
For a wake in Tower Hill, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest. Timings are planned around your wake, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level outdoor area
As a London location, Tower Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
