Thai catering in Colchester
Whatever you are celebrating in Colchester, we bring the whole menu with us and cook it live at your venue, so every plate reaches your guests minutes from the wok rather than hours from a warming cabinet.
Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town and one of Essex's newest cities. Events here range from receptions in historic buildings near the castle to university functions at Wivenhoe Park and barn weddings in the villages around.
The Colchester district stretches from the Dedham Vale on the Suffolk border down to Mersea Island and the Blackwater estuary.

Making your Colchester event easy
Colchester is a large place with about 30,659 households. A town this size has every kind of venue, from function rooms and sports clubs to offices and community centres, and we have the capacity for big guest lists.
Around 31% of homes in Colchester are flats, so many hosts here book a local hall, a pub function room or a communal space, and we come to them. For flats without outdoor space we serve a hot buffet in chafing dishes, cooked fresh and delivered ready to eat.
Colchester has grown a lot in recent years, with 32% of its homes built since 2000. New-build gardens are often compact, so a buffet indoors with food cooked on our station outside works best.

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.”
