Thai Wedding Catering in Great Leighs
If you are getting married in or near Great Leighs, our Thai street food is a colourful alternative to the usual three-course plated meal, and it works just as well for 40 guests as for 400.
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 wedding 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. Some couples here marry at home in a garden marquee, which gives us room for a full wedding breakfast station and an evening food stall.
About two thirds homes in Great Leighs (69%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. Plenty of couples here hold the wedding reception in a family garden or paddock with a marquee, and we cook alongside it with our own kit.
Where couples in Great Leighs hold their reception
Wedding settings across the City of Chelmsford include Anglia Ruskin University's Chelmsford campus, Hylands House and Park and RHS Garden Hyde Hall near Rettendon, and the venues around Great Leighs are mostly marquees on private land, city-centre offices and sports and golf clubs.
Whatever the venue, we cook on site, so the food is served minutes from the wok, and we can run a separate evening food station once the dancing starts.
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.

Questions
Thai Wedding Catering in Great Leighs: FAQs

Chelmsford station is on the Great Eastern Main Line, with direct trains to London Liverpool Street
How many wedding guests can you serve in Great Leighs?
We cater weddings from around 30 guests up to 450. For larger numbers we add more cooking stations and staff so the queue keeps moving.
Can you serve an evening food station as well as the wedding breakfast?
Yes. We can do both, or just the evening: a Pad Thai or curry station at 9pm works well once the dancing starts.
Do you cater weddings at venues in Great Leighs without a kitchen?
Yes. Barns, marquees and gardens with no kitchen at all are exactly what our set-up is for. We bring our own cooking equipment, gas and serving stations, so we only need a flat area near where guests will eat.
How much does Thai wedding catering cost for a wedding in Great Leighs?
Wedding mains start from £20 per guest, with starters from £5.99 and canapés from £2 a piece. Travel from our Chelmsford kitchen to Great Leighs (9 miles) is included in your quote, and every quote shows the full price per guest.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Great Leighs?
For a summer wedding or a Christmas party in Great Leighs, months rather than weeks. Office lunches and smaller parties can often be arranged within a fortnight. A 20% deposit confirms your booking.
Can you cater for special diets in Great Leighs?
Of course. Thai food suits mixed diets well: tofu versions of our curries and noodles are vegan, many dishes are naturally gluten-free, halal chicken is available, and allergens are labelled on every dish we serve in 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.”
“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.”
“Mihai and Nok came to our wedding reception and served fully vegan food as we wanted: pad Thai, massaman curry, spring rolls and mango sticky rice. Everyone at the party absolutely loved it!”
