Catering in Kingston Vale

Kingston Vale sits in SW15 3, on the Kingston Road between Robin Hood Gate and the top of Kingston Hill. It is about five miles from our kitchen at 16 Ashburnham Road, Richmond TW10 7NF — comfortably inside the ten-mile radius, so delivery and set-up are free.

Bookings here split three ways: family parties at home, hall and club bookings along the Kingston Road and Kingston Hill, and gatherings tied to the Robin Hood Gate side of Richmond Park — club runs, cycling meets, christenings and memorials held nearby afterwards.

The A3 is the thing that decides timings. Robin Hood roundabout backs up at rush hour and on Saturday mornings, so we set a delivery time that gets the food on the table before the traffic builds rather than after it.

Getting to you in SW15 3

The run from Richmond is Petersham Road, Ham, Kingston Hill and along to the Vale — about twenty-five minutes on a normal morning and longer once the A3 is busy. Houses along the Kingston Road mostly have driveway or side-road parking, which makes a trolley run straightforward. If your address is on the park side with no dropped kerb, tell us at booking and we will send two people so the food is not left at the roadside.

Hall and club bookings

Halls around Kingston Vale and Kingston Hill usually give you a fixed hire slot with the clock running from the moment you get the key. We set up inside twenty minutes: trestle covers, chafing units lit, dish cards out, temperatures checked on arrival. We do not cook on site — no tandoors, gas burners or open flame — which is exactly what most hall agreements require, and it means we need table space rather than a kitchen.

Events at the Robin Hood Gate end of Richmond Park

Plenty of what happens in the Vale is tied to the park: club rides, running groups, charity walks and family days that finish nearby. We are glad to feed any of them. Be clear on one point: if food is to be served inside the park, the organiser holds the Royal Parks permission and arranges pitch and vehicle access. We deliver to an approved event — we do not obtain the permission and we never suggest we have one.

Diets in a mixed family party

Every buffet goes out with a vegetarian and a vegan line that stand on their own, and gluten-free options where they are asked for. Dish cards name the spice level and the allergens. Our kitchen is nut-free as standard, though we cannot promise a zero cross-contact environment — name a severe allergy at quote stage and we will write that dish out separately.
