🥀Funeral wakes or memorial teas can be a time to catch up with family and friends, to celebrate someone’s life or to pay respect following the passing of a loved one. With more people choosing to have a cremation without a service sometimes the family still like to have a “gathering” of sorts to finalise matters. These can be joyful, relaxed events with photos, music, poems or anecdotes and often is actually “what is needed”.
We offer a range of services to assist with this:-
A range of buffet’s which can be set up with or without tea service in our beautiful vintage tea cups.
Pared back afternoon tea style catering.
Hire of our vintage tea cups and hot water urn.
Waiting staff to assist at your event.
