Planning your event in Tendring
Tendring has grown a lot in recent years, with 35% of its homes built since 2000. Newer estates mean lots of young families, so children's birthdays, christenings and housewarmings are common bookings here.
Almost all homes in Tendring (90%) 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.
Tendring has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. In bigger houses we can serve indoors in the kitchen or conservatory and cook outside, keeping cooking smells out of the house.
Any venue in Tendring, indoors or out
Around Tendring we cook at village halls, country houses, port and town halls and garden marquees. The Tendring district is also home to Frinton's Greensward, Harwich's Ha'penny Pier and old town, St Osyth Priory and Mistley Towers and the Stour estuary.
The drive from our kitchen is about 37 miles via the A120 and A133, roughly 70 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: the Sunshine Coast line serves Clacton and Walton, and the Mayflower line serves Manningtree and Harwich.
The whole menu travels with us
Every dish on our menu is available for events in Tendring, cooked fresh on site. Crowd favourites include Som Tam green papaya salad, Veg Gun Peacemaker stir fry, Mango Sticky Rice and Thai roti flatbread, 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.”
