Hosting in Harwich, made easy

Harwich has plenty of character, with 44% of its homes built before 1919. Older places usually have a church hall, a village hall or a historic pub that makes a characterful venue, and we check the rules on cooking and power in advance.

Around 36% of homes in Harwich are flats, so many hosts here book a local hall, a pub function room or a communal space, and we come to them. For flats without outdoor space we serve a hot buffet in chafing dishes, cooked fresh and delivered ready to eat.

Harwich Town station is under a mile from the centre of Harwich. Guests can arrive by train, which keeps parking simple and lets everyone enjoy a drink.

Venues we cook at around Harwich

From garden marquees, seafront and beach venues and holiday parks and clubs to a marquee in the garden, we adapt our set-up to your venue in Harwich. Local settings across the Tendring district include Mistley Towers and the Stour estuary, Clacton Pier, the Naze Tower at Walton and Frinton's Greensward.

The drive from our kitchen is about 48 miles via the A120 and A133, roughly 90 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: the Sunshine Coast line serves Clacton and Walton, and the Mayflower line serves Manningtree and Harwich.

Our full menu, cooked at your venue

“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.”
