Planning your event in Stanway
Stanway has grown a lot in recent years, with 39% of its homes built since 2000. Newer estates mean lots of young families, so children's birthdays, christenings and housewarmings are common bookings here.
About two thirds homes in Stanway (66%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. That suits our street food set-up: a gazebo and cooking station on the lawn or patio, with guests helping themselves from the food station.

Around Stanway we cook at village halls, garden marquees, Tudor and historic houses and converted barns. The City of Colchester is also home to Mersea Island and its oyster beds, Dedham Vale, Constable country, Colchester Castle and Castle Park and Layer Marney Tower.
The drive from our kitchen is about 24 miles via the A12 and A120, roughly 50 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.

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.”
