Bringing Authentic Thai Flavours to Your Events
Swasdee! That's "hello" in Thai, and we believe it's the best way to kick off our story! Welcome to Fan Thai Sticks, where our passion for authentic Thai cuisine meets exceptional event catering.
Founded in Chelmsford, Essex, we cook authentic Thai street food at weddings, office events and parties across Essex, London and the rest of England. Our journey began with a simple mission: to share the vibrant, bold flavours of Thailand with every event we cater.
What sets us apart? It's our commitment to authenticity. Every dish we prepare uses traditional recipes passed down through generations, combined with the freshest locally-sourced ingredients. From our signature Pad Thai to our aromatic Massaman Curry, each bite tells the story of Thai culinary heritage.
Whether you're planning an intimate wedding, a corporate gathering, or a large-scale festival, our dedicated team brings the same passion and attention to detail to every event. We don't just cater food - we create experiences that your guests will remember.
Why choose us
Why people book Fan Thai Sticks
Cooked by a Thai chef
Chef Nok cooks the dishes she grew up with: massaman, green curry, som tam and mango sticky rice, made the proper way.
Cooked on site, served hot
Nothing is reheated from yesterday. The woks and food stations go up at your venue and food comes off them hot.
Every diet at one table
Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free versions at no extra cost, and every dish labelled for the 14 allergens.
No venue kitchen needed
We bring the kitchen, and outdoors we cook under our own gazebo. Marquees, barns, gardens and fields are all fine.
Paperwork in order
5-star food hygiene, £5m public liability insurance, gas safety and PAT certificates, risk assessments on request.
One team, start to finish
Mihai plans your menu with you and is there on the day. Our Google reviews mention him again and again.

What our clients say
We're rated 5.0 on Google. A few of our reviews, in our clients' own words:
“They tailored their menu to us completely, adding a curry dish that is meaningful to us, and making sure the starters were vegan so all our guests could enjoy them… Most of our guests commented on how much they loved the food.”
“I booked Mihai and Nok for my mum's 60th birthday… they adapted their starters into canapés style plates for our casual dining event. Everyone was raving about the food and we didn't have any guests going hungry!”
“All of our guests loved the Thai buffet and we had lots of comments on the high quality. Mihai and his team were discreet and cracked on using the facilities the hall had… brilliant with some of the more complex dietary requirements.”
