About

“Swasdee สวัสดี” – that’s “hello” in Thai, and we believe it’s the best way to kick off our story! 🙏

I’m Nok, your friendly Thai chef hailing from the vibrant streets of Udon Thani. Alongside my partner-in-crime, Mihai, we decided to take a leap of faith back in 2019. With a sprinkle of adventure and a dash of spontaneity, we left our catering jobs behind and embarked on a journey that turned out to be a culinary rollercoaster ride like no other! 🎢

*Fun Fact Alert! 🚨* When life throws you lemons, just book a trip to Thailand! You never know; it could change your life (and palate) forever!

Fast forward to 2025, and we’ve rolled out over 100,000 hand-rolled spring rolls and guzzled through a whopping 750 liters of coconut milk—because who doesn't love a good curry? 🌴 Our Thai food has travelled far and wide across the UK, from the sunny shores of Brighton to the bustling streets of Leicester and London. We’ve delighted guests at over 200 events during peak season, fully booked every weekend! Be it corporate gigs, weddings, or birthdays, we’ve got you covered with flavors that will leave you and your guests smiling.

With amazing clients like Warner Bros Studios, Holland & Barrett, and NHS, we’re not just chefs; we’re flavor wizards working our magic in kitchens everywhere.

In Thailand, we believe good food = good mood! 🎉 Our culinary creations swirl together the four essential flavors of Thai cuisine: salty, spicy, sweet, and sour. It’s like a dance party in your mouth!

Whether we’re setting up a cozy indoor feast or hosting a garden party under the stars, our outdoor and indoor catering services are tailored specifically for your Thai food cravings. We’ve mastered the art of speed, whipping up delicious dishes at a rapid-fire pace of 5 guests per minute (that’s 300 per hour—yes, you read that right!). Just a heads up: terms and conditions apply regarding menu choices because, let’s be honest, we can’t do it all (yet)! 😉

Based in the heart of Essex, we proudly cover all of England, serving up genuine Thai cuisine and good vibes! So, let’s get this party started! 🌈🥢

Reviews for Fan Thai Sticks

Thai food so good that will make you sell your antique grandma teapot 😂

If you're still frantically Googling "wedding food that won't make guests fake stomach flu," your search ends here. Fan Thai Sticks Catering isn't just another wedding vendor – it's the plot twist your special day deserves.

When our wedding planning hit DEFCON 1 (that's "dear-god-we're-one-month-out-and-still-don't-have-food" level), Fan Thai Sticks swooped in like culinary superheroes wearing aprons instead of capes. Their communication was so on-point that my anxiety medication asked if it could take the day off. Every email was answered faster than my fiancé could say, "Whatever you want, dear" – his only contribution to our wedding planning.

The professionalism? Immaculate. While I was having meltdowns about seating charts and whether my second cousin twice-removed would start another family feud, the Fan Thai Sticks team remained cooler than their cucumber relish. They showed up exactly when they said they would – a concept so foreign to wedding vendors that I actually checked to make sure I hadn't accidentally hired time-traveling wizards.

Now, about the value. Listen, I've seen wedding budgets that look like small country GDPs. Fan Thai Sticks delivers five-star dining at a price that won't force you to honeymoon in your parents' basement. I was so shocked by their reasonable quote that I actually asked them if they'd forgotten to include food in their calculations.

But the FOOD. Oh sweet Buddha, the FOOD! Our guests are still talking about it three months later. My mother-in-law – a woman who considers salt an exotic spice – went back for thirds of their green curry. My college roommate who once lived in Thailand for a year (and never shuts up about it) declared it "actually authentic" – his highest possible praise. We had more guests hovering around the food stations than at the open bar, which at a wedding is basically defying the laws of physics.

The serving staff moved through our reception with the grace of ballet dancers and the efficiency of German engineers. They even managed to handle Great-Uncle Frank's detailed interrogation about every ingredient while simultaneously keeping my vegan cousin from starving to death.

In conclusion, if you want wedding catering that your guests will remember longer than your first dance (which, let's be honest, was just glorified swaying), hire Fan Thai Sticks. They're the only wedding decision you'll make that won't keep you awake at 3 AM questioning your life choices.

Fan Thai Sticks Catering: Making wedding food so good, you'll actually get to eat some of it on your big day!

Our guests are still talking about the food!

# "Our Guests Are STILL Talking About The Food!"

When we got engaged, my partner and I made a pact: no boring chicken or beef at our wedding. Enter Fan Thai Sticks Catering, who turned our reception into what my cousin Derek now calls "that time I forgot I was at a wedding because I was too busy having a religious experience with a spring roll."

From the first tasting session (where I may have "accidentally" stuffed extra dumplings in my purse for later), we knew these weren't your typical wedding caterers. Their team actually LAUGHED at our jokes and didn't flinch when my grandmother demanded to know if their curry was "authentic enough" (spoiler alert: she now wants them to cater her 80th birthday).

On the big day, they transformed our venue into this amazing Thai street food festival. The presentation was so gorgeous that guests were taking more photos of the food than of us - slightly offensive, but fair enough. Their serving staff wore these subtle matching outfits that complemented our wedding colors without me even asking. Mind reader status: confirmed.

The food itself? Let me put it this way: my college roommate, who normally eats like a bird, went back for THIRDS of their massaman curry. My new father-in-law, who once declared that "anything spicier than salt is too exotic," was spotted dipping extra pad thai into chili sauce when he thought no one was looking.

And when my dress got a little tight after dinner (no regrets), their head chef quietly brought me a perfect little box of mango sticky rice "for later" with a wink.

Unlike most wedding caterers who disappear faster than an open bar, Fan Thai Sticks stayed until the very end, packaging up leftovers for our after-party and sending us home with labeled containers for the next day.

Fair warning though: if you hire Fan Thai Sticks, be prepared to never enjoy ordinary catering again. Also, at least five people will ask for their contact info during your reception, so just put their business cards in your centerpieces and save yourself the trouble.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
