How our funeral wake catering works in Wallend
Wakes in Wallend happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. We need an outdoor spot to cook, and the food can be served inside. For anniversary memorials and pub and club wakes, we’ll put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
For a wake in Wallend, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Wallend: your questions answered
What if our house in Wallend has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you do something else?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with family members cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you
- All the equipment comes with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
See our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Permission from the hall or venue
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
Wallend 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
