At Dining By Design we appreciate these occasions are an emotional time and we are very sensitive to your needs. We feel that it is very important that you spend the time with your family and friends and don't have to worry about arranging and serving refreshments. This is a time for you to reflect and celebrate the life of a loved one.

We have produced a selection of menus that are suitable for this occasion, although you are welcome to choose from our other menus.

All buffets are freshly prepared and presented and then delivered to your home or alternative venue.

We can arrange different options of service style for the funeral reception:

Option One – To arrange for your selected buffet (food only) to be delivered and set out at your chosen venue prior to the funeral service and left for you to unwrap and serve.

Option Two – To deliver and set up your selected buffet along with hot and cold refreshments at your chosen venue whilst you attend the funeral service, so that it is all ready for you to serve when you return.

Option Three – Our professional service staff will set up and discreetly serve the selected buffet and refreshments at your chosen venue whilst you attend the funeral service. We will happily quote for the required number of staff.

We are happy to loan free of charge, cups, saucers, plates and glasses for up to 50 guests when ordering this service from us.

Please call us for more information and advice.

Please note all our staff are reliable, honest, trustworthy and respectful. They are used to setting up in private homes and other venues whilst families attend the funeral service and will not encroach on you at this private time.
