What to know about Thai wedding catering in Layer Marney

Layer Marney has plenty of character, with 33% of its homes built before 1919. Historic churches and halls make lovely ceremony settings here, with the reception moving to a barn, garden or marquee where we can cook freely.

Layer Marney is a small, friendly community of around 310 households. Rural weddings near small villages are often on farms, private estates or in marquees, which is exactly where our self-contained set-up is most useful.

Three in four homes in Layer Marney (75%) 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 Layer Marney hold their reception

Wedding settings across the City of Colchester include Dedham Vale, Constable country, Colchester Castle and Castle Park and Layer Marney Tower, and the venues around Layer Marney are mostly converted barns, coastal and riverside venues and university and conference spaces.

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 19 miles via the A12 and A120, roughly 40 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Colchester and Colchester Town stations link to London Liverpool Street and the Sunshine Coast line.

“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!”
