Planning Thai party catering in Wivenhoe
Wivenhoe station is under a mile from the centre of Wivenhoe. Guests can arrive by train, which keeps parking simple and lets everyone enjoy a drink.
About two thirds homes in Wivenhoe (73%) 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.
Wivenhoe has plenty of character, with 20% 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.
Party venues in and around Wivenhoe
Parties in and around Wivenhoe usually happen at Tudor and historic houses, converted barns and coastal and riverside venues, 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 29 miles via the A12 and A120, roughly 60 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 Wivenhoe. A good start is Sukhumvit Pad Thai, Gai Satay and Thai prawn crackers with spring rolls and Royal Massaman Curry, 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 Wivenhoe: FAQs
Travel to Wivenhoe 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 Wivenhoe?
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 Wivenhoe cost?
Party catering starts from £14 per guest. Travel to Wivenhoe is included in your quote, which shows the full price per guest.
Do venues in Wivenhoe need a kitchen?
Not at all. Whether it is Tudor and historic houses or converted barns in Wivenhoe, we arrive with cooking stations, gas and serving kit and cook on site, so the venue's own kitchen does not matter.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Wivenhoe?
Summer Saturdays and December dates in Wivenhoe 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.
