Event catering in Kingston — a food partner for organisers and sponsors
Market-town events, riverside days, university and corporate bookings across KT1 and KT2, delivered hot with the paperwork done.
Kingston runs at a different scale to the villages upstream. There is a permanent market, a riverside that fills every warm weekend, a large student population, borough-run events and a working town centre with offices that book food all year. Organisers here are often dealing with licensing, footfall counts and a pitch fee, not just a trestle table.
We work Kingston regularly from our Richmond kitchen — a straight run down through Ham and Kingston Hill, inside the free delivery radius. Food comes hot, held in chafing units, with an allergen list issued before the day and printed dish cards at the stall.
We also cater at Hollyfest at Hollyfield School in Surbiton, which is the one Kingston-borough event we claim, having served there in 2025 and been invited back for 2026.

- • Collection from our Richmond kitchen by arrangement when a group would rather serve it themselves.
Who books us here
- • Borough, market and town centre event teams

- • School and PTA fundraising committees

How the money works
Every booking is a paid booking. We do not provide donated food, free stalls or sponsorship in kind, including for charity and not-for-profit events — the overheads are the same whoever the day is for. There are three ways we trade, and whichever it is goes in writing before the date is held:
- • A flat catering fee, quoted against your menu and numbers.
- • A guaranteed minimum spend, underwritten by the organiser.
- • A pitch fee plus a share of takings.
Cross-promotion sits alongside a paid booking, never instead of one: we will promote your event to our website, social channels and mailing list, and we are glad to co-brand signage where it suits both sides. Staffed stall rates and the deposit are set out on our event and fair catering rates page.
Kingston upon Thames organiser questions
Do you already cater events in Kingston borough?
Yes — we served as a food partner at Hollyfest at Hollyfield School in Surbiton in 2025 and have been invited back for 2026. That is the borough event we claim; we do not list events we have not worked.
Can you handle a pitch fee or minimum spend arrangement?
Yes. We trade three ways: a flat catering fee, a guaranteed minimum spend underwritten by the organiser, or a pitch fee plus revenue share. Whichever it is, it goes in writing before the date is held.
Is there a delivery charge to Kingston?
No — Kingston is inside our free delivery radius from Richmond. Venues beyond ten miles are quoted a delivery fee up front.
