Late-December sunset in Stoke Goldington is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.

Planning help
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask close family about dietary needs
If the service runs late, we wait.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
