The Garden Catering

The Garden Catering was established in 2000 and over the years has built a large range of high profile clients through high quality fresh food, beautiful presentation, reasonable pricing and personal service. We cater for a wide range of events and functions including day to day office meetings, evening receptions, canapé events, corporate hospitality functions, award ceremonies, product launches.

Our Story A family business established in 2000 The Garden Catering's story began in 2000, when Graham and Alison Hamdi opened The Garden, a food shop in Richmond upon Thames, offering freshly prepared soups, sandwiches and other quality food. In 2002, they expanded into corporate catering, initially supplying local businesses alongside the shop. As demand for catering grew, they decided to concentrate entirely on this side of the business, closing the Richmond shop in 2004.

cGrowing with our customers What began as a small family operation steadily developed into an established corporate catering business. Following the closure of the shop, the business initially operated from facilities in Kingston upon Thames. In 2009, The Garden Catering moved to larger premises at 30 South Lane, Kingston, where it continued to develop its corporate and event catering services. In 2012, The Garden Catering received three Great Taste Gold Awards for our Indian, Mexican and Provençal marinades. Developed through our experimentation with herbs, spices and carefully balanced flavours, these award-winning recipes reflected our commitment to creating distinctive, high-quality food. By 2016, further growth prompted a move to larger warehouse premises at Unit 5, Chessington Trade Park, providing a modern, dedicated base for the business. Our home in Chessington In 2020, The Garden Catering moved into its current home at Unit 6, Chessington Trade Park, a spacious 4,000 sq ft facility housing our production kitchen and warehouse. Our purpose-equipped production kitchen allows our own team to prepare food in-house, supported by professional catering equipment, refrigeration, storage facilities and our own delivery vehicles. Still independent. Still family-run. More than two decades after entering corporate catering, The Garden Catering remains an independent, family-run business. From our Chessington kitchen, we provide corporate catering, office lunches, buffets, canapés and event catering throughout London and Surrey. Although the business has grown considerably since its beginnings in Richmond, our approach remains the same: freshly prepared food, dependable service and personal attention to our customers.
