Making your Lexden event easy
Three in four homes in Lexden (86%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. A garden of almost any size takes our cooking station, so you can keep the party at home rather than hiring a hall.
Lexden is a settled, close-knit community where many families have lived for years. Established communities book us for milestone birthdays, ruby and golden anniversaries and family reunions, often with several generations at the table.
Lexden has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. Larger homes mean bigger guest lists at home, so we often run two stations: one for mains and one for satay and starters.

Google reviews
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.”
“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!”
“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.”
