Christmas Party Catering in West Mersea
Swap the usual turkey for something your team or family will remember: a Thai Christmas party in West Mersea, with warming curries, satay and spring rolls cooked fresh.
West Mersea is the main town on Mersea Island, reached over the Strood causeway, which floods at the highest tides. We plan Mersea deliveries around the tide times so we never get caught out.
Around Colchester the land opens into the Dedham Vale, the Tey villages and the estuary villages along the Colne.

What to know about Christmas party catering in West Mersea
The nearest station, Wivenhoe, is about 6 miles away, so most guests arrive by car. Rural venues need a caterer who brings everything, and we arrive with our own gas, water containers and lighting.
West Mersea has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. Larger homes mean bigger guest lists at home, so two stations work well: one for mains and one for satay and starters.
Three in four homes in West Mersea (83%) 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.
Hosting a party in West Mersea
Parties in and around West Mersea usually happen at garden marquees, Tudor and historic houses and converted barns, and we adapt the set-up to the space.
We need a flat space about the size of a parking bay for the cooking station, or we cook nearby and bring the food in hot.
December is our busiest month, so Christmas parties in West Mersea are best booked in October or November.
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.
