Not in Sharon or Newton, but Northern Spy in neighboring town (to Sharon) Canton has nice food, hosts private events, and has easy parking/serene environment. The grounds have historical interest, which might be a welcome distraction for the attendees.
We’ve had good meals there but haven’t been since…well, without looking at my previous posts, a long while, but post-Covid. I’ve been to Union Straw and although Northern Spy is casual, it’s a tiny bit more upscale than Union Straw.
One other consideration…if the funeral occurs on a Sunday when the Pats have a home game, you don’t want to be anywhere near Sharon-Canton-Foxboro. Traffic will be nutz.
ETA: Looked up my old posts. Last time we went was in 2022.
