A hog roast near Warren Street
Funeral wake catering near Warren Street
Wakes in Warren Street happen at homes, halls, clubs and pubs. Wherever it is, the roaster cooks outdoors under cover, and we serve indoors where the venue allows. Whether it’s gatherings at the family home and anniversary memorials, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, roast pork in rolls or on plates and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In rural Warren Street, home or the hall is usual, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Warren Street: your questions answered
Is Warren Street too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Warren Street from London?
About 41 miles from central London.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details and we’ll reply promptly.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late September, sunset in Warren Street is about 7:00pm; in December, about 3:50pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- Clearance from walls and branches
- One contact on the day
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
