- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Every wake is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wake for a quote: use our quote form.

- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
