About our funeral wake catering in Little Barrington

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In winter, it is dark in Little Barrington by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough numbers and when people will arrive.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
