Catering

If you are considering a reception after the funeral there are several things to take into account. Consider the time of day people will be reaching the reception. Do you need to provide lunch or just tea and coffee? The number of people you are expecting will play a big part in your choice of venue.

You must consider the availability of parking spaces, the provision of cutlery, cups and who is actually going to prepare and serve the food. How easy is it for people to find, especially those who do not live locally?

On a day when you need time for yourself and your family, catering even for 20 people can be hard work. It can quickly become an added stress you could probably do without.

How can we help? 

We will guide you through the options and book the venue for you.

If you are considering catering at home but do not want the added responsibility it brings, we can happily recommend a caterer who will take care of everything, for a small or large number of people. If you would prefer not to hold the reception at home, there are local hotels and social clubs we are happy to suggest.
