How our funeral wake catering works in Tulse Hill
Services can run over, and that’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. Whether it is gatherings at clubs and pubs and home wakes, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, roast pork in rolls or on plates and apple sauce.
For a wake in Tulse Hill, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A safe distance from the hall
- A hall or room for eating
Tulse Hill 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Common questions in Tulse Hill
What if our house in Tulse Hill has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Belair Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if people arrive late?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What should we provide?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
