Newbridge is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal halls can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered cooking spot.
Here we cover the PO41 postcode area, and we can cater your wake anywhere in it. Local streets include Main Road and Clay Lane; a wake on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wake. Autumn and winter afternoons in Newbridge get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
