Funeral & Wake Catering in Launceston
Funeral catering in Launceston is straightforward, respectful food for a wake or memorial gathering: sandwiches and finger food through to a hot fork buffet. Everything is delivered on time, set out quietly before people arrive, and cleared away without fuss, so nobody in the family has to think about the catering. Prices start from £7.95pp including VAT, and cover the food, the equipment and the setup. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options carry no surcharge, and everything arrives ready to serve. We travel to Launceston from our Redruth kitchen, about 55 minutes away, and cover it regularly. We need somewhere to set the food down and vehicle access to unload, and we handle the rest. We agree a ready-by time with you and deliver ahead of it, so the food is not sitting around before guests arrive.

What customers say
“Fantastic company. We had a celebration buffet for wedding guests at Manor House in Looe. Great communication from the start and the food went down well! Lots of compliments from guests and there was more than enough to go round. Would 100% use again and can’t recommend enough. Thank you guys!”
