Baby shower catering in London and Richmond
Baby showers are daytime, mostly seated, and unusually dietary-sensitive. A pregnant guest of honour, a few young children and a friendship group with assorted requirements means the menu matters more than the service style. We plan baby shower catering around clear labelling and gentle spicing rather than a showpiece spread.
Jaflong Tandoori Catering cooks at 16 Ashburnham Road, Richmond TW10 7NF and holds a 5-star Food Standards Agency hygiene rating.
Dietary care
- No nuts. Our catering kitchen does not use peanuts or tree nuts, which removes the most common baby-shower worry outright.
- Mild by default. We recommend mild spicing across the main dishes with one spiced option on the side rather than the reverse.
- Separate vegetarian and vegan cooking, with gluten-free items labelled on the tray.
- Everything served hot and freshly cooked — no cured or raw items that a pregnant guest would need to avoid.
Daytime service
Most showers run for two to three hours across an afternoon. A warm buffet with grazing items at the front — samosas, pakoras, chutneys — followed by two mains, rice, a vegetable side and breads, suits guests who are sitting and talking rather than queueing. Food is cooked in Richmond and delivered hot in chafing units; we do not cook on site, so a home or a hired room without a kitchen both work.
Cost and delivery
Bronze £25, Silver £35, Gold £45 and Platinum £60 per head, with minimum guest numbers per package — Bronze at 20 guests suits most showers. Delivery is free within ten miles of TW10 7NF and quoted from ten to twenty miles. Collection from the kitchen is available by prior arrangement.
