Funeral wake catering in Warner Estate, carved to order
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Let us know if there’s anything special and we’ll try to help. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings at clubs and pubs and church and village hall wakes, serving salads, new potatoes and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
In Warner Estate, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, outdoor space for the roaster is the thing to check, which we can help you think through. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
Warner Estate 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 before you book.

Warner Estate: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at St John's: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What should we provide?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We bring everything else.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Halal isn’t available.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What if the service runs late?
Give us a contact for the day and we will serve when everyone is there.
