Funeral wake catering in West Barnes, slow-roasted on site
Wake catering across West Barnes and Greater London, at homes, halls and venues. Typical bookings include church and village hall wakes and wakes at home, with new potatoes, apple sauce and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
Wakes in West Barnes 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.

West Barnes: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Beverley Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

The menu, dish by dish

Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
