About our funeral wake catering in West Hendon
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. We are often asked to cater hall gatherings after a service and celebrations of life, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and new potatoes.

For planners, venues and organisers

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Summer evenings in West Hendon stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
