Funeral Catering FAQs

Common questions about our funeral and wake catering service.

We offer sandwich and wrap platters, cold buffets with salads, quiche, sausage rolls and sides, cakes and sweet platters, and tea and coffee stations that run continuously for the two to three hours most wakes last. All freshly prepared and delivered ready to serve. We plan generously — people often eat more than expected at a wake, and running short is the one thing that should never happen.
A typical wake buffet for 40 guests costs between £200 and £350, depending on what you choose. A simple sandwich and savoury platter spread sits at the lower end. Adding hot food, sweet platters, and afternoon tea options takes you higher. We will always work within your budget and be honest about what is needed and what is not.
Most wakes in Cornwall are held in one of three places: a village hall near the church, a hotel or pub function room, or the family home. We cater for all three. We aim to have the food laid out before the family return from the crematorium or church, so guests are met by a ready table the moment they arrive.
Cold buffets arrive in eco-friendly, stackable boxes ready to serve. Hot buffets arrive in thermal containers. Nothing to prepare — just set out and serve.
Yes. We deliver to any venue across Cornwall and Devon including churches, village halls, community centres, hotels, pubs, and private homes. A small travel supplement may apply for Devon deliveries.
Funeral arrangements often come together at short notice, and we do our best to accommodate. Call us to check availability. For planned events, 48 hours is plenty.
Yes. All of our menus can be adapted for gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free and nut-free diets. Let us know when ordering and we will prepare suitable options.

Yes. We can combine items from different menus to suit the occasion. Let us know your preferences when requesting a quote.
No. Wake buffets are always drop-and-go: we deliver, set out the spread, then leave. Guests and family serve themselves. Larger gatherings follow the same format — we do not provide serving staff, waiting staff or front-of-house at any size.
