Mobile caterers looking for a new trading location are invited to join a five-month summer trial to serve high-quality food and drink in some of Richmond's award-winning parks and green spaces.

This opportunity is open to all new or established mobile caterers based in Richmond or outside the borough.

The trials will take place at selected sites for a limited time, helping the council assess suitability and viability, and gather feedback from residents to inform any longer-term approach.

Richmond Council says it "welcomes environmentally responsible operators, who are actively reducing waste, sourcing products responsibly and minimising carbon emissions".

Available locations include:

  • Barnes Green
  • Castelnau Recreation Ground
  • King Georges Field
  • Moormead and Bandy Recreation Ground
  • Mortlake Green
  • Richmond Riverside (near Herron Square)
  • Richmond Green
  • Small Profits Dock
  • Terrace Gardens Towpath
  • Teddington Lock/Ham House

Successful applicants can operate up to seven days a week, with flexible arrangements available. Operators must be self-sufficient, providing their own power, water and waste management.

Visit the council's trials page to view hours of operation, fees, and to apply to be part of creating a delicious experience for residents and visitors at Richmond borough's parks and open spaces.

Are applications still open though? It looks like they wanted people from the beginning of June... It seems like it would be too late to apply now.

Good idea. But for Pete’s sake please make sure they clean up and provide rubbish bins and recycling. Some of the local ice cream vans and food vans around here leave a frightful mess.
