Funeral wake catering in Ruislip Gardens
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
- A safe distance from the hall
Ruislip Gardens is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
