Planning your event in Tollesbury
The nearest station, Southminster, is about 7 miles away, so most guests arrive by car. With most guests driving, it helps to plan parking and leave a clear route for our van to reach the cooking area.
Tollesbury has plenty of character, with 30% of its homes built before 1919. Historic buildings often limit what can be cooked indoors, so we cook outside under our gazebo and serve inside.
About two thirds homes in Tollesbury (74%) 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.
Any venue in Tollesbury, indoors or out
Around Tollesbury we cook at marquees on farmland, family gardens, waterside and marina venues and sailing and yacht clubs. The Maldon district is also home to St Peter-on-the-Wall at Bradwell, Tollesbury marina and lightships, Hythe Quay and the Thames sailing barges and Promenade Park in Maldon.
The drive from our kitchen is about 20 miles via the A414, B1018 and B1010, roughly 45 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.

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.”
