Wakes and memorials
A place to gather and remember
When you are saying goodbye to someone you love, we will take care of the food and the room, so you can be with your family and friends.
Rodi is a family-owned Greek and Mediterranean restaurant in Old Welwyn, overlooking St Mary’s Church. We host wakes and memorial lunches for families from Welwyn and across Hertfordshire. We know these gatherings are often arranged quickly and at a hard time, so we keep it simple: call us or send a few details, and we will look after the rest.
A quieter space
Semi-private areas
A space of your own inside the restaurant for about 15 to 40 guests, where family and friends can sit together and talk.
For a larger gathering
The whole restaurant
For a bigger gathering, the whole restaurant can be yours, with our team looking after your guests.
Food & Drink
Simple, generous food
A buffet is often the easiest choice, so guests can eat when they are ready and move around to talk. We can also agree a set menu with you.
If there are traditional dishes your family would like, just ask and we will talk it through with you.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are always available. Tell us about any allergies and our team will help.
