Funeral catering questions
- How much does funeral catering cost per person?
- Funeral and wake catering uses our standard per-guest rates: £18 per guest for the Standard Package and £28 per guest for the Premium Buffet. Smaller tea-and-snack receptions cost less; we confirm every quote in writing before you commit.
- Can you cater a wake at short notice?
- Yes. We regularly arrange wake catering within 48 hours, and sometimes the same day for smaller numbers. Call the catering line rather than sending a form if the date is close.
- Where do you deliver funeral catering?
- Richmond, Ham, Petersham, Twickenham, Kingston, Surbiton, Teddington and the surrounding South West London areas — homes, community halls, temples, mosques and function rooms.
- Can you cater vegetarian, vegan and halal wakes?
- Yes. Our meat is sourced from trusted halal suppliers, we cook a full vegetarian and vegan section, and we use Laila gluten-free basmati rice as standard.
- How many guests can you cater for?
- From 20 guests at home to 300 in a hall. Tell us the venue and we will advise on serving style and timings.
- Do you need a deposit?
- For short-notice funeral catering we usually take payment after the event or a small deposit only for larger bookings. Nothing is charged when you send an enquiry.
