Party Catering in Great Leighs
Planning a party in Great Leighs? Our Thai street food turns a garden, a hall or a front room into a proper celebration, with food your guests will queue up for.
Great Leighs is home to Chelmsford City Racecourse, which hosts race days, conferences and private functions.
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.

What to know about Thai party catering in Great Leighs
Great Leighs has grown a lot in recent years, with 46% 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.
Great Leighs has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. Larger homes mean bigger guest lists at home, so two stations work well: one for mains and one for satay and starters.
About two thirds homes in Great Leighs (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.
Hosting a party in Great Leighs
Parties in and around Great Leighs usually happen at marquees on private land, city-centre offices and sports and golf clubs, and we adapt the set-up to the space.
We need a flat space about the size of a parking bay for the cooking station, or we cook nearby and bring the food in hot.
The drive from our kitchen is about 9 miles via the A12, A130 and A414, roughly 25 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Chelmsford station is on the Great Eastern Main Line, with direct trains to London Liverpool Street.
Build your Thai party catering menu
Our whole menu is available for Thai party catering in Great Leighs. A good start is spring rolls, Royal Massaman Curry and Mango Sticky Rice with Sukhumvit Pad Thai and Gai Satay, but every menu is built around your guests, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and clear allergen labels on everything.
