The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. For a summer wake in Winchmore Hill, there is light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- We set up and roast while you are at the service.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

How our funeral wake catering works in Winchmore Hill
Roast pork with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw makes a proper meal. There are alternatives for those who don’t eat pork. On the menu are apple sauce, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for scattering-of-ashes gatherings and family get-togethers after a service.
Wakes in Winchmore Hill 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.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
