Catering at the Kennedy Lounge

Our Kennedy Lounge is located alongside our Dunedin chapel and offers a welcoming, homely atmosphere for families to gather after the service. The lounge is fully equipped with a modern kitchen and managed by our caring hosts, who ensure everything runs smoothly. Many options are available, with menus designed to make this time together stress-free.

Catering at Other Venues

If you choose to hold the service or gathering at another location, we can provide off-site catering. Platters and refreshments are delivered ready to serve, and hosts can be arranged if needed. We also work with local venues, churches, and community spaces to make sure catering is easy and seamless.

Flexible Options to Suit Every Family

From simple tea and sandwiches to more extensive catering, our team can guide you on what works best for your family, the venue, and the size of the gathering. We’re here to ease the pressure, so you can focus on being with those who matter most.
