Planning your event in Purleigh
Purleigh 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.
Almost all homes in Purleigh (91%) 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.
Purleigh is a small, friendly community of around 342 households. In small places like this the village hall, the pub garden or a neighbour's field is usually the venue, and we come fully self-contained.
Venues we cook at around Purleigh
From family gardens, waterside and marina venues and sailing and yacht clubs to a marquee in the garden, we adapt our set-up to your venue in Purleigh. Local settings across the Maldon district include Burnham-on-Crouch quayside, St Peter-on-the-Wall at Bradwell, Tollesbury marina and lightships and Hythe Quay and the Thames sailing barges.
The drive from our kitchen is about 11 miles via the A414, B1018 and B1010, roughly 25 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Maldon has no station; Burnham-on-Crouch and Southminster are on the Crouch Valley line.
Our full menu, cooked at your venue
Every dish on our menu is available for events in Purleigh, cooked fresh on site. Crowd favourites include Veg Gun Peacemaker stir fry, Mango Sticky Rice, Thai roti flatbread and Sukhumvit Pad Thai, and we build each menu around your guests, your budget and the style of your event, with mild versions for children and clear allergen labels on everything.

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.”
