Jaflong Catering serves Mortlake (SW14) from our Richmond kitchen three miles away, about fifteen minutes, with fully halal Indian and Bangladeshi catering for rowing club celebrations, wake and memorial catering and community hall events from £25 per head, delivered free.
Fifteen minutes along the river to SW14
Mortlake is SW14, three miles and about fifteen minutes from 16 Ashburnham Road, Richmond TW10 7NF — a short run along the river, comfortably inside the free-delivery radius.
Short runs matter here because two of our most common Mortlake bookings are time-sensitive in opposite ways: a rowing celebration that starts when the crews come off the water, and a wake where the family arrives at a fixed hour and the food must simply already be there.
- Postcode covered: SW14.
- Areas we know well: Mortlake Brewery, Ship Lane, the Mortlake Tapestry.
- Venues we have catered at or delivered to: The Ship Mortlake, Mortlake Crematorium Chapel, St Mary the Virgin Church.
Wake and memorial catering in Mortlake
Memorial catering is a different job from party catering and we treat it that way. We arrive early, set quietly, keep the line simple and clearly labelled, and stay out of the room. Numbers are usually uncertain on the day, so we plan a buffet that stretches rather than a plated count that does not.
If you are arranging a wake at short notice, call 020 8332 1339 — a straightforward buffet for a Mortlake hall or function room can often be turned around inside a few days.
The Mortlake events we cater most
Three formats cover most SW14 work.
- Rowing and boat club celebrations — large appetites, a self-served line and a start time that follows the river rather than the clock.
- Wake and memorial gatherings — quiet set-up, mild and familiar dishes alongside the spiced ones, and flexible numbers.
- Community hall and church events — no working kitchen to rely on, so drop-off with copper chafers and full disposables.
What Mortlake tables order
Mortlake orders most often around Butter Chicken — a mild, creamy tomato curry that suits a mixed room — Seekh Kebab, spiced minced lamb grilled on skewers, and Mushroom Rice, an aromatic pilau with sautéed mushrooms.
Indian catering menu and prices for a Mortlake booking
Bronze at £25 per head from twenty guests is a complete buffet — starters, mains, rice, breads and a vegetarian dish. Silver at £35 widens the mains and is where most party and office bookings land. Gold at £45 brings in the tandoor selection and a fuller vegetarian and vegan spread, which is why it dominates weddings. Platinum at £60 is for events where the food is the centrepiece.
Every tier is priced per head, and every tier is fully halal from a single supply chain, so a mixed guest list never needs two caterers. The full dish list is on our menu page, and the quote builder prices your exact guest count against it.
Halal, dietary requirements and allergens
Everything leaving our kitchen is halal. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked as their own dishes and served from their own labelled section of the line rather than spooned from the same tray.
Written allergen information is provided before the event, not read out on the day. Our kitchen holds a 5-star Food Hygiene Rating from the Food Standards Agency, which is usually what a Mortlake school, church, club or civic venue asks to see before letting a caterer through the door.
Getting a price for your Mortlake event
The quote builder returns a per-head figure against your guest count, date and venue, with free delivery. If you would rather talk it through, call 020 8332 1339 or WhatsApp 07436 026277 — we are a family business, so you will speak to someone who will be involved in your event.
