Race weekend food
Great River Race catering menu and prices
Three ways to feed a crew on race day: a hot buffet delivered to the river, trays collected from our Richmond kitchen, or a table with us after the Ham finish. Prices below are our live per-head package prices — the same ones we quote all year.
Buffet, takeaway or delivery
Delivered crew buffet
Hot food brought to your crew, club or riverside address.
- Delivered in warm holding to Thames Young Mariners, Ham House, riverside addresses and homes.
- Free delivery inside ten miles of our Richmond kitchen; ten to twenty miles is quoted as a delivery fee.
- Priced per head against a package tier, with serving spoons, foil trays and labelled dishes.
- We agree a drop time with you so the food lands as your crew comes off the water.
Collection and takeaway
Pick it up from 16 Ashburnham Road, Richmond TW10 7NF.
- Large catering trays by prior arrangement — order ahead so it is ready when you arrive.
- Standard takeaway from our restaurant kitchen from 4pm on race day.
- Useful for crews driving back past Richmond with trailers, and for support teams feeding a few people rather than a whole club.
- No delivery fee on collection, whatever the distance you are travelling.
Dine in after the finish
A table in Richmond once the boats are out of the water.
- Our restaurant kitchen opens at 4pm, which lines up with crews finishing at Ham.
- Book ahead for larger groups — race Saturday is busy in Richmond.
- Minutes from Richmond Bridge and the towpath.
- Halal-sourced meat and poultry; naturally nut-free kitchen; five-star food hygiene rating.
