Our uniformed team on site at a Richmond wedding reception, buffet laid and ready before guests arrive. A full chafing-dish line, held at temperature from first service through to seconds. Every dish carries a printed name card, so guests can choose confidently. A bespoke menu board — canapés, mains and breads chosen by the couple. Menu easel at the entrance to service — the running order guests will be offered. Canapé round: seekh kebabs, mixed pakoras and fresh mint dip, passed on arrival. The starter table at a private party — everything cooked the same morning in Richmond. Hand-folded samosas finished with pomegranate — the detail guests notice first. Seekh kebabs straight off the tandoor, plated alongside the pakora and samosa selection. Pani puri shots — our most requested interactive canapé at parties and Eid gatherings. Chot poti kept hot on the line — a Sylheti street-food classic on our buffet menus. Breads and rice replenished throughout service, never left to sit and dry out. Copper handi service for a more formal setting, on request at no extra charge. A South West London garden party — full setup under canopy, cleardown included. Linen, signage and fresh flowers — the finish matters to us too. We work alongside your florist, venue and planner rather than around them. Serving chaat at Ham Fair — we cater community events across Richmond every year. Prep morning in our Richmond kitchen — the same chefs who cook for the restaurant. The bit we care about most — guests going back for seconds.
