A wake in The Village is a chance to gather, talk and share a warm meal. A hog roast is simple, hearty food that most people enjoy, and it takes the cooking off the family. We are often asked to cater anniversary memorials and home wakes, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and apple sauce.
Near The Village, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
