Planning your event in Brightlingsea
Brightlingsea has plenty of character, with 26% of its homes built before 1919. Historic buildings often limit what can be cooked indoors, so we cook outside under our gazebo and serve inside.
About two thirds homes in Brightlingsea (69%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. That suits our street food set-up: a gazebo and cooking station on the lawn or patio, with guests helping themselves from the food station.
Brightlingsea is a settled, close-knit community where many families have lived for years. With guests of all ages, we keep a mild option on every station and make sure there is seating near the food.
Any venue in Brightlingsea, indoors or out
Around Brightlingsea we cook at village halls, country houses, port and town halls and garden marquees. The Tendring district is also home to Frinton's Greensward, Harwich's Ha'penny Pier and old town, St Osyth Priory and Mistley Towers and the Stour estuary.
The drive from our kitchen is about 31 miles via the A120 and A133, roughly 60 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: the Sunshine Coast line serves Clacton and Walton, and the Mayflower line serves Manningtree and Harwich.

What our clients say
Every one of our 66 Google reviews is five stars. A few of them, 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.”
