Chai Catering for Asian Weddings in the UK: A Complete Guide

29 Jan

Written By Kishen Borkhatria

Asian weddings in the UK are known for their vibrancy, scale, and rich traditions. From multi-day celebrations to hundreds of guests, every detail matters — especially the food and drink.

One element that has become increasingly popular is chai catering. More than just tea, chai represents hospitality, comfort, and culture, making it a perfect fit for Asian weddings.

This guide explains everything you need to know about chai catering for Asian weddings in the UK and why it has become such a sought-after addition.

Why Chai Is Essential at Asian Weddings

In many South Asian cultures, chai plays a central role in daily life and special occasions. Serving chai at a wedding is a gesture of warmth — a way of welcoming guests and encouraging conversation.

Chai works beautifully at:

Pre-wedding functions (Mehndi, Haldi, Pithi)
Wedding ceremonies (including Nikah and Walima)
Evening receptions (including Jago’s and pre-reception parties)
Post-dinner or late-night service

Freshly brewed chai offers comfort after long ceremonies and is loved by guests of all ages.

The Rise of Chai Carts at UK Asian Weddings

Across the UK, couples are choosing chai carts over traditional tea stations or coffee vans. A live chai cart adds both function and theatre, creating a social hub where guests naturally gather.

A professionally run chai cart:

Brews chai fresh on-site if kitchen access is available
Creates an interactive guest experience
Fits seamlessly into indoor or outdoor venues
Enhances the overall wedding atmosphere

Chai Cart’s setup is designed specifically for weddings and large-scale events, making it a popular choice across London and beyond.

Types of Chai Popular at Asian Weddings

Different families and regions have different preferences, which is why variety matters.

Popular options include:

Masala Chai – Aromatic, spiced, and comforting
Karak (Kadak) Chai – Strong, bold, and full-bodied
Customised chai options with adjusted sweetness or spice

Fresh brewing ensures flavour, aroma, and authenticity — something guests immediately notice.

Snacks & Sweet Treats That Pair Perfectly with Chai

Chai is best enjoyed with something to nibble on, especially during evening receptions or late-night service.

Alongside chai, Chai Cart can supply:

Pastries
Cup cakes
A range of sweet and savoury snack items
Traditional Gujarati favourites such as Jalebi and Ghatya

These options are particularly popular at Asian weddings, where guests appreciate familiar flavours alongside something warm to drink.

Ideal Moments to Serve Chai at a Wedding

Timing is key to getting the most out of chai catering.

Chai works especially well:

After the main ceremony
During evening receptions
As a late-night refreshment
During winter or autumn weddings

Many couples also choose to surprise guests with a chai cart later in the evening — a moment that’s always well received.
