Private Event Catering Across Dorset

Taste of Thailand private event catering setup in Dorset

Authentic Thai food for weddings, corporate events and private parties — 50+ guests

Taste of Thailand is available for private event catering across Dorset and the surrounding area. Whether you're planning a wedding reception, a corporate lunch, or a milestone birthday party, we bring a fresh-cooked Thai street food experience directly to your event — no shortcuts, no pre-made sauces, no adapted-for-the-West version.

The food is cooked on the day by Manaow Prasatthong, a 3rd-generation Thai chef who grew up in her family's restaurant in Chiang Mai. The same dishes she serves at festivals and food markets are available for private bookings — including the Thai red curry that won Best Dish at the Bournemouth Food Festival.

Events We Cater For

💒

Weddings

An alternative to the usual wedding breakfast — authentic Thai food served as a street food-style spread for your guests. Memorable, relaxed, and genuinely delicious.

💌

Anniversaries

Celebrate a wedding anniversary, engagement or any special milestone with a fresh-cooked Thai street food spread. A relaxed, memorable way to mark the occasion with family and friends.

🎉

Birthday Parties

Make a milestone birthday stand out. We set up a pop-up Thai stall at your venue and cook fresh to order — garden parties, marquees, village halls, you name it.

Planning something for work? We also cater team lunches, client entertaining, office parties and corporate hospitality — see our dedicated corporate event catering page for details.

How It Works

1
Get in touch — use the form below or message us on Facebook with your event date, location and approximate guest numbers.
2
Discuss your menu — we'll go through the options with you and tailor the menu to your event. Dietary requirements, allergies and preferences are all covered at this stage.
3
We arrive and cook — on the day, we set up a self-contained pop-up catering unit and cook everything fresh on site. No reheated trays, no shortcuts.

The Menu

Our typical event menu includes Thai green curry, red curry, Panang curry, Pad Thai, spring rolls, and rice — but the menu for a private event can be adapted to suit the occasion. We can focus on a smaller number of dishes cooked in larger quantities, or offer a wider spread depending on your setup.

Everything is made from scratch using fresh ingredients: galangal, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, Thai basil. The curry pastes are made by hand using a pestle and mortar, following the method Manaow learned growing up in her family's restaurant.
