Planning Thai party catering in Tiptree
Three in four homes in Tiptree (78%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. Gardens here suit a garden party with a cooking station on the patio and food served straight from the wok.
Tiptree is a settled, close-knit community where many families have lived for years. With guests of all ages, we keep a mild option on every station and make sure there is seating near the food.
Party venues in and around Tiptree
Parties in and around Tiptree usually happen at village halls, garden marquees and Tudor and historic houses, and we adapt the set-up to the space.
Indoors we serve a hot buffet in chafing dishes; outdoors we cook live at a gazebo station, which is half the entertainment.
The drive from our kitchen is about 17 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.
Your menu, your way
Our whole menu is available for Thai party catering in Tiptree. A good start is Royal Massaman Curry, Mango Sticky Rice and Sukhumvit Pad Thai with Gai Satay and Thai prawn crackers, but every menu is built around your guests, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and clear allergen labels on everything.

Questions
Party Catering in Tiptree: FAQs
Travel to Tiptree is included in every quote
Colchester and Colchester Town stations link to London Liverpool Street and the Sunshine Coast line
Can you cater a party at my home in Tiptree?
Yes. Homes and gardens are ideal for our cooking stations. We need a flat space about the size of a parking bay for our cooking station, or we can cook nearby and serve a buffet indoors.
What is the minimum number of guests?
There is a minimum spend of £750, which is about 30 guests on our food station package. For smaller gatherings, a private chef dinner for 6 to 12 guests may suit better.
Do you provide food for children?
Yes. Pad thai, chicken satay, spring rolls and mango sticky rice go down well with children, and we keep mild versions with chilli on the side.
How much does party catering in Tiptree cost?
Party catering starts from £14 per guest. Travel to Tiptree is included in your quote, which shows the full price per guest.
Do venues in Tiptree need a kitchen?
No. Venues without a kitchen are our everyday work in Tiptree, from coastal and riverside venues to village halls. We set up our own cooking stations close to where guests eat and leave the space as we found it.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Tiptree?
Summer Saturdays and December dates in Tiptree book up months ahead, so get in touch as soon as you have a date. For weekday lunches and smaller parties, a couple of weeks is often enough. A 20% deposit secures the date.
