How our funeral wake catering works in Victoria
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. For celebration-of-life gatherings and home wakes, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
Wakes in Victoria are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a garden. 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.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level outdoor area
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Approval from the landlord or committee
Victoria is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce

- Hog roast rolls

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If the hall or pub provides food, check whether we can cater there. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In late September, sunset in Victoria is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We confirm the space.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
