Funeral wake catering near Westbourne Green
Served on plates with salads and potatoes, a hog roast is a full meal, or rolls keep it simple. There are alternatives for those who do not eat pork. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for ashes ceremonies and anniversary memorials.
In Westbourne Green, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need an outdoor spot to cook, which we can help you think through. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Questions from Westbourne Green
Can you do a hog roast in Emslie Horniman's Pleasance?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

What should we sort out beforehand?

When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
