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, then if you wish book the venue and take of the catering.
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 to hold a reception other than at home there are local hotels and social clubs we are happy to suggest.
As an alternative we have a room available at our funeral home and we can cater for up to 30 people. This is popular for families who don't have the option of using their own home but the number of people likely to attend doesn't warrant booking a hotel or club. Ask to see the room and the menu options before you decide.
