Christmas Party Catering in Chipping Ongar

Office Christmas parties and family festive get-togethers in Chipping Ongar are a big part of our December, and Thai food is a welcome change from the standard festive menu.

Chipping Ongar is a small market town with a Norman castle mound and the heritage Epping Ongar Railway, surrounded by farmland and estate venues such as Blake Hall.

From Loughton and Chigwell on the London edge to Ongar and the Rodings in the countryside, the Epping Forest district mixes suburbs and open farmland.

Planning Christmas party catering in Chipping Ongar

The nearest station, Shenfield, is about 6 miles away, so most guests arrive by car. With most guests driving, it helps to plan parking and leave a clear route for our van to reach the cooking area.

Chipping Ongar has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. In bigger houses we can serve indoors in the kitchen or conservatory and cook outside, keeping cooking smells out of the house.

About two thirds homes in Chipping Ongar (69%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. Gardens here suit a garden party with a cooking station on the patio and food served straight from the wok.

Party venues in and around Chipping Ongar

Parties in and around Chipping Ongar usually happen at large private homes and gardens, country estates and golf clubs, and we adapt the set-up to the space.

Indoors we serve a hot buffet in chafing dishes; outdoors we cook live at a gazebo station, which is half the entertainment.

December is our busiest month, so Christmas parties in Chipping Ongar are best booked in October or November.

The drive from our kitchen is about 12 miles via the M11, M25 and A414, roughly 30 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: the Central line serves Epping, Theydon Bois, Loughton, Debden, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell.

Your menu, your way
