Fan Thai Sticks provided an absolutely delicious and seamless Thai food catering experience for our corporate event on July 17, 2025. They were incredibly helpful and professional from start to finish, promptly providing all necessary documentation and maintaining excellent communication throughout the planning process. On the day, they arrived early, set up efficiently, and handled all cleanup, leaving everyone raving about the amazing food. We highly recommend them!

We held an NHS staff masquerade hall on Saturday 14th December and selected Bananaleaf to supply the food. What a fantastic event and everyone commented on the amazing curries on offer. Shahid was so good with his communication and keep me up to date at all stages with the process, and even on the day letting me know they had set off and an arrival time at the venue. I’d highly recommended bananaleaf, the quality of the food was top notch with an extremely pleasant team to deal with.

The Bananaleaf team catered an amazing meal at our home for around 45 people. They set up a marquee on our drive and cooked outside. Everybody loved the Malaysian food, they were so friendly and professional and did everything they could to make the evening perfect. We will definitely use them again for a future event. Highly recommended

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

A Local’s Guide to Hiring Asian Catering in Edinburgh

Edinburgh knows how to throw a party. From glittering Hogmanay celebrations to elegant weddings tucked inside historic stone walls, this city has a flair for events that feel special rather than cookie-cutter. And when it comes to food, Asian catering in Edinburgh has become a go-to choice for hosts who want flavour, flexibility, and something a bit more memorable than the usual suspects.

We’ve worked with countless events across the capital, and Asian catering consistently delivers that “wow” moment guests remember long after the dance floor clears. Whether you’re planning a winter Hogmanay feast, a modern wedding menu, or a corporate ceilidh that deserves better than beige buffets, this guide will help you understand what to expect and how to get it right.

Why Asian Catering Works So Well in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a city of contrasts. Ancient architecture meets contemporary design, and traditional Scottish celebrations happily sit alongside global cuisine. Asian catering fits perfectly into this mix.

Menus inspired by South Indian and Thai cooking are particularly popular here. They balance bold flavours with freshness, spice with subtlety, and indulgence with lighter options that suit a wide range of guests. Add in contemporary Asian fusion, and you’ve got food that feels current without being intimidating.

Asian catering also suits Edinburgh’s varied venues. It works just as well in city hotels hosting polished corporate events as it does under canvas in Botanic Garden tents or inside atmospheric historic spaces. Flexible service styles and adaptable menus make it easy to tailor the experience to the setting.

Event Types That Pair Brilliantly With Asian Catering

Hogmanay Catering With a Twist

Hogmanay is big, bold, and unapologetically festive. Asian catering rises to the occasion beautifully. Warming spices, fragrant curries, and vibrant sharing dishes are ideal for winter celebrations, keeping guests fuelled through long nights of music, dancing, and fireworks.

South Indian dishes with rich sauces or Thai-inspired street food style options are especially popular. They’re comforting without being heavy, and they keep energy levels high well past midnight. It’s a refreshing alternative to traditional winter menus and one that guests genuinely appreciate.

Weddings That Feel Personal

Edinburgh weddings often blend tradition with individuality. Asian catering allows couples to reflect their personalities through food, whether that means honouring cultural heritage or simply choosing flavours they love.

Contemporary Asian fusion menus are a favourite for modern weddings. They allow for elegant presentation, creative combinations, and inclusive options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests. Service styles can range from refined plated meals to relaxed sharing feasts, depending on the vibe you’re after.

Corporate Ceilidhs Done Properly

Corporate events in Edinburgh don’t have to feel stiff. A ceilidh paired with Asian catering strikes a brilliant balance between professionalism and fun. The food keeps things lively, encourages conversation, and helps the event feel like a genuine celebration rather than a box-ticking exercise.

Venues and Spaces Where Asian Catering Shines

  • City Hotels: These are a staple for weddings and conferences. Asian catering slots in seamlessly, offering menus that feel polished enough for formal settings.
  • Historic Venues With Character: Stone halls and centuries-old architecture provide an unforgettable backdrop where vibrant dishes add a modern contrast.
  • Botanic Garden Tents and Outdoor Spaces: Interactive food stations and sharing platters complement the open, informal feel of summer celebrations.

Menu Styles to Expect

Asian catering in Edinburgh typically falls into two popular directions, both of which can be customised extensively.

  1. South Indian and Thai menus focus on depth of flavour, aromatic spices, and balanced heat. They are ideal for guests who enjoy bold food that still feels approachable.
  2. Contemporary Asian fusion takes inspiration from multiple cuisines, combining traditional techniques with modern twists. This style works particularly well for weddings where variety is key.

What Does Asian Catering Cost in Edinburgh?

For most events, you can expect Asian catering in Edinburgh to sit between £19 and £43 per person. The final price depends on several factors:

  • Menu complexity and the number of courses.
  • Service style, such as buffet, sharing platters, or plated service.
  • Guest numbers and venue logistics.
  • Premium ingredients or live cooking stations.

Planning Without the Stress

We’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming event planning can become, especially when food is involved. Clear menus, upfront pricing, and responsive suppliers make all the difference. Knowing exactly what you’re getting and when allows you to focus on the fun parts of planning rather than worrying about logistics. This is where using a reliable platform really pays off.
