Funeral wake catering near Wallington
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, so food is ready when people arrive. We serve without fuss and clear up quietly. Whether it is scattering-of-ashes gatherings and hall gatherings after a service, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates and more.
For a wake in Wallington, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What else we do in Wallington
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Clearance from walls and branches
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A hall or room for eating
Wallington 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 in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

- New potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In winter, it’s dark in Wallington by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
