Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Funeral wake catering in Vauxhall, carved to order
Some families choose a hog roast because it was a favourite. Let us know if there’s anything special and we will try to help. Whether it is home wakes and anniversary memorials, we can cook new potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers and more.
For a wake in Vauxhall, a hall or club with a yard or garden is often simplest, though home can work with a garden and side access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from the hall
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A short route for the equipment
As a London location, Vauxhall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Vauxhall
Can you do a hog roast in Old Paradise Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-December sunset in Vauxhall is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
How to prepare
