Planning Thai wedding catering in Hockley

Three in four homes in Hockley (85%) 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.

Hockley station is under a mile from the centre of Hockley. Good rail links make it easy for guests travelling from London, so evening food timings can follow the last trains.

Hockley is a settled, close-knit community where many families have lived for years. With guests of all ages, we keep a mild option on every station and make sure there is seating near the food.

Wedding venues around Hockley

Wedding settings across the Rochford district include London Southend Airport, the River Crouch at Hullbridge and Wallasea Island nature reserve, and the venues around Hockley are mostly riverside and marina venues, airport business parks and family homes and gardens.

Many venues in this area have no catering kitchen, which is no problem: we arrive with gas, cooking stations and serving equipment, and leave the space as we found it.

The drive from our kitchen is about 15 miles via the A127, A129 and A130, roughly 35 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Rayleigh, Hockley and Rochford are on the line to London Liverpool Street.

Your menu, your way

Our whole menu is available for Thai wedding catering in Hockley. A good start is Royal Massaman Curry, Isaan Thai Green Curry and Sukhumvit Pad Thai with Gai Satay chicken skewers and hand-rolled spring rolls, but every menu is built around your guests, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and clear allergen labels on everything.

Questions

Thai Wedding Catering in Hockley: FAQs

Travel to Hockley is included in every quote

Rayleigh, Hockley and Rochford are on the line to London Liverpool Street

How many wedding guests can you serve in Hockley?

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 Hockley 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 Hockley?

Wedding mains start from £20 per guest, with starters from £5.99 and canapés from £2 a piece. Travel from our Chelmsford kitchen to Hockley (15 miles) is included in your quote, and every quote shows the full price per guest.

Do venues in Hockley need a kitchen?

Not at all. Whether it is airport business parks or family homes and gardens in Hockley, we arrive with cooking stations, gas and serving kit and cook on site, so the venue's own kitchen does not matter.

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

Summer Saturdays and December dates in Hockley 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.

“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.
“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.”
Ella
“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!”
Shannon D.
