When it comes to hiring caterers for family parties, weddings, birthdays and corporate events, Taste Event is the catering company of choice in Essex. We plan and prepare personalised menus according to your requirements. All you need to do is discuss your guests’ preferences with our chefs. Whether you need personalised wedding cakes, special finger foods or a fancy BBQ. We can cook various types of foods to make your event as special as possible.

With an eye for style and great attention to detail, we have developed a passion for fine dining that reflects in our foods’ quality, taste and presentation. At Taste Event, we also make it a point to source our food locally wherever possible. It is crucial for us to ensure that our suppliers support good animal welfare and we source sustainable produce.

We consider the location, season and surroundings. We reflect your style and theme, from contemporary to traditional. We listen to your requirements and put everything in place to design a menu fit for a magical day.

Beyond the plate, we can also arrange waiting staff, bartenders, florists and table design. We can unlock some of Essex’s most exciting venues or deliver our food with a fleet of couriers to wherever you happen to be.
