Ford End is a village in the City of Chelmsford, near Chelmsford. By road it is about 8 miles north of our Chelmsford base, roughly 20 minutes in the van.
Chelmsford has been the county town of Essex for centuries and became a city in 2012, so the district mixes a busy city centre with a ring of very rural parishes.

Making your Ford End event easy
Ford End has plenty of character, with 32% 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.
The nearest station, Beaulieu Park, 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.
Three in four homes in Ford End (87%) 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.

Around Ford End we cook at village halls, country house venues, farm barns and marquees on private land. The City of Chelmsford is also home to Hylands House and Park, RHS Garden Hyde Hall near Rettendon, Danbury Country Park and Chelmsford City Racecourse at Great Leighs.

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.”
