Become a Preferred Caterer Partner — Venues, Planners & Agencies

Venues, wedding planners, event agencies and workplace teams all keep a short list of caterers they will recommend without hesitation. This page sets out exactly what we put behind that recommendation, so you can assess us properly rather than on a brochure.

Jaflong Tandoori Catering has traded since 2008 from 16 Ashburnham Road, Richmond TW10 7NF. We cover Richmond upon Thames, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey and Middlesex, with free delivery within ten miles and a quoted fee between ten and twenty miles.

One named contact handles the booking from first enquiry to clear-down: 020 8332 1339, WhatsApp 07436 026277, jaflongcatering@gmail.com.

Who we work alongside

Wedding and function venues that want an Indian option on their recommended list. Wedding and event planners placing halal-sourced menus for their clients. Marquee, furniture and AV suppliers who get asked "who should we use for food?". Office managers and PAs who need the same caterer to deliver reliably every month. Schools, clubs and community committees booking the same team year after year.

What sits behind the recommendation

• Food Standards Agency hygiene rating of 5 at our Richmond kitchen, certificate supplied on request.
• Allergen information on every dish, with the fourteen allergens printed on tray cards at service.
• Halal-sourced meat and poultry, stated accurately — we are not HMC certified.
• Nut-free cooking as standard, with vegetarian and vegan lines served from separate utensils.
• A full supplier documentation pack — hygiene rating, allergen labelling and halal-sourcing statement — sent on request.
• No cooking at your venue: hot-held food arrives ready, so there is nothing to sign off on site.
• One contact from enquiry to clear-down, and a written confirmation with a booking reference.

How a preferred arrangement works

We start with a conversation about your typical events, guest numbers and price points. We then agree a small set of menus and per-head prices your clients can be shown directly, along with the delivery windows and the room setup we need. You get the documentation pack for your file, and we get a named contact on your side. Nothing is exclusive and nothing is locked in — it simply removes the quoting round-trip every time a client asks for Indian food.

Being straight about money

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. Per-head packages run from £25 to £60 — see the packages page — and staffed stalls at fairs and festivals are priced on the event catering rates page. Tastings are available by arrangement and are chargeable.
