At The Hostess Restaurant, we understand how important it is to honour a loved one's life with care, dignity, and respect. We had been approached by a local Funeral Director due to a growing shortage of suitable venues for a wake or funeral receptions. In response, we have drawn upon our 30+ years of experience in food and hospitality to offer a professional and considerate funeral buffet catering service.
Our dedicated team is here to offer support during these difficult times. We ensure that every aspect of your funeral buffet or wake is managed with efficiency, sensitivity, and our signature attention to detail and qualities that have earned us our long standing reputation.
We pride ourselves on offering flexible menu options and personalised service to accommodate the individual needs of families and guests. Whether you're hosting a small, intimate gathering or a larger memorial event, we are fully equipped to cater for both, with care, compassion, and professionalism.
We offer three thoughtfully designed buffet packages priced at:
• £12 per person - Buffet 1
• £14 per person - Buffet 2
• £17 per person - Buffet 3
• Unlimited Tea or Coffee
Each package includes a wider variety of options as the price increases, such as sweet selection and hot food selections. Our team can help you choose the most appropriate package based on your preferences, budget, and the expected number of guests.
We do ask for a minimum of 30 guests for all bookings.
Room hire is £100, and includes:
• Sole use of one or more private rooms
• Use of napkins and serving ware
• TV monitors for photo or video tributes
• Tasteful background music
