We are delighted to assist those near and far celebrate the lives of their loved ones with our wake services. We know how difficult a time this can be, so we aim to make the wake organisation and experience one that is seamless and easy. 

We offer a £13 per-head charge buffet, this will be £15 a head from January 2025 accompanied by tea and coffee (free for a maximum of 2 hours), plus of course full access to the bar. Talk to us about your needs as we are flexible to accommodate particular tastes and dietary requirements. 

You are more than welcome to take any remaining food, however as we know how expensive these things can be we aim to keep costs to a minimum. Therefore we suggest that you either bring your own boxes or we can provide takeaways boxes but as a separate cost of £1 a box. 

We also ask that you please use the bar during your stay as we would like to keep the doors open in this very tough time for pubs at the moment.

You are more than welcome to put some money behind the bar for either first drinks or for the entirety. Please make sure you let us know a few days before your party, as your guests will normally arrive before yourselves.

No matter the time you would like to host your wake, whether the pub is normally open or closed we are more than happy to discuss opening the venue to host your friends and family. However we do ask that if it is normally when the pub is closed we cater for a minimum of 30 people.

If you require a Monday or Tuesday then we can only cater for a 60/70 people or more.

We also have a great outdoor space and there is cover for those that need it. However I can stress that we do a deep clean every day and our keeping up the pre restriction cleaning process. 

We can provide: 

- Access to full bar - no matter the time of day

- Delicious, lovingly prepared buffet, inc. savoury and sweet options

-Private and exclusive use of our light-filled conservatory or other spaces

- Projector to use for slideshows - bring in your own laptop with a direct HMDI port

- A bluetooth phone and playlist to play your music.

- Dedicated staff on hand to assist 

A sample buffet may include, freshly-made sandwiches, quiche, chicken legs, pies, pasties, loaded potato skins, pizza, sausage rolls, mozzarella and olives, fresh salads, freshly cut fruit and other sweet snacks. And of course our home made stone baked pizzas and garlic bread that are cooked when you arrive so are nice and fresh. See images for examples.

Should you choose to consider us as a venue for a loved ones wake we would be incredibly happy to run your through out list of services to best accommodate your guests. 

Please note that we get booked up for these events pretty quickly, and we only hold one a day, so you could spend the rest of the evening with us if you choose to. 

As we are now growing so popular, we require a £100 non refundable deposit to secure the day for you, this will of course come off the remaining balance due. This is because we have many enquires about our space and we do not like disappointing any one so the first person to pay the deposit secures the day for themselves.

Please see some of our reviews:-

1. We recently had a post funeral reception here and can thoroughly recommend. We had the conservatory to ourselves and the buffet was great. Plenty of food and the staff were very helpful. We had access to the bar if anyone wanted more than tea/coffee. They happily supplied takeaway boxes for the food that was left and many of us took advantage of that. You could have your own music and there was a projector, although we didn’t use this. It is only about 5 mins from Westerleigh Crematorium so is convenient as well. On a difficult day, this reception was one less thing to worry about.

2. Recently went to the Ye Olde Inne after a funeral at Westerleigh. Easy to find and parking available. Food extremely good.

3. Went in for the wake after my mums funeral

The staff were excellent and the buffet provided was value for money

Will recommend for a wake.
