Thai catering in Essex

Essex is home. Our kitchen is in Chelmsford, right in the middle of the county, so every Essex town and village is within a comfortable drive, from Saffron Walden in the north west to Shoeburyness in the south east and Harwich on the coast.

We cook authentic Thai street food on site at weddings, office events, garden parties and festivals across all 14 Essex districts, and we hold a 5-star food hygiene rating from Chelmsford City Council.

  • Based in Chelmsford, so most Essex venues are under an hour away
  • Barns, country houses, marquees, seafront venues and offices
  • Fully self-contained cooking set-up for venues without a kitchen

Venues we cook at around Essex

The drive from our kitchen is about 5 miles via the A-roads, roughly 15 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later.

Our full menu, cooked at your venue

Every dish on our menu is available for events in Essex, cooked fresh on site. Crowd favourites include Thai golden fish cakes, Som Tam green papaya salad, Veg Gun Peacemaker stir fry and Mango Sticky Rice, and we build each menu around your guests, your budget and the style of your event, with mild versions for children and clear allergen labels on everything.

Questions

Thai catering in Essex: FAQs

Travel to Essex is included in every quote

What is included in the price?

Cooking fresh on site, serving, eco-friendly bamboo plates, cutlery and napkins, set-up, clear-down and travel. Standard service runs for two hours, and extra time can be added.

Do you cater in Essex?

Yes. Essex is about 5 miles from our kitchen in Chelmsford and we cater weddings, parties, office events and food van bookings there, with travel included in the quote.

How much does Thai catering cost in Essex?

Packages start from £14 per guest for mains in eco-friendly boxes, £17 for a main and two spring rolls from hot food stations and £24 for full food stations with two staff. The quote for Essex includes travel and shows the full price per guest. There is a minimum spend of £750, or £1,000 for the food truck.

Do venues in Essex need a kitchen?

No. We bring our own cooking equipment, certified gas and serving stations, or cook from our food van, so barns, marquees, gardens, fields and halls without kitchens are all fine. We just need a reasonably flat spot close to where guests will eat.

How far ahead should I book for an event in Essex?

Summer Saturdays and December dates book up months ahead, so get in touch as soon as you have a date. For weekday lunches and smaller parties, a couple of weeks is often enough. A 20% deposit secures the date.

Can you cater for vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy needs?

Yes. Every menu includes vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes at no extra cost, halal chicken is available on request and every dish is labelled for the 14 major allergens. Mild versions are available for children.

5.066 reviews on Google
“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.”
