Planning your event in East Mersea

East Mersea has plenty of character, with 57% 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.

Around 40% of homes in East Mersea are flats, so many hosts here book a local hall, a pub function room or a communal space, and we come to them. We can cook on site at the venue or set up a hot buffet, whichever suits the space.

East Mersea is a small, friendly community of around 322 households. Small villages tend to celebrate together, so fêtes, village hall parties and private estate events are what we usually cater nearby.

Any venue in East Mersea, indoors or out

Around East Mersea we cook at village halls, garden marquees, Tudor and historic houses and converted barns. The City of Colchester is also home to Mersea Island and its oyster beds, Dedham Vale, Constable country, Colchester Castle and Castle Park and Layer Marney Tower.

The drive from our kitchen is about 28 miles via the A12 and A120, roughly 55 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Colchester and Colchester Town stations link to London Liverpool Street and the Sunshine Coast line.

“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.”
Tilly M.
“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!”
Ruby O.
“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.”
