About our funeral wake catering in Wimbledon
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for gatherings at the family home and gatherings after a cremation.
In Wimbledon, 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. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Where the roaster can go in Wimbledon
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- One contact on the day
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A short route for the equipment
As a London location, Wimbledon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
