Chef Silvestre was great! Very communicative, fast and easy booking, and the food was complimented by all guests! He explained the dishes to us, cleaned and left everything spotless, and even wrapped us some left overs to eat the next day. I would highly recommend!

Booked for Anniversary

From booking Shaloma to the day of the event, I cannot fault her! Shaloma responded to any queries quickly and her menu choice was amazing. On the night, she was so so lovely and the food was INCREDIBLE! Absolutely cannot wait to book Shaloma again for another event!

Booked for Birthday party

Fabulous Catering and Events (specifically Richard) provided us with the most amazing meal and service and gets our highest recommendation. This was a private dining experience provided for us at rented accommodation to celebrate my birthday. Richard worked closely with my husband to agree a wonderful menu accommodating all my dietary needs. The resulting meal was exquisite: crab and chilli linguine, seabass with cauliflower bhaji, spinach and roasted pepper stew and new potatoes, roasted pineapple torte with mango and passionfruit sorbet, followed by a chocolate birthday cake! Richard is very friendly and professional. As soon as he arrived he immediately got on with the cooking, served us our drinks and quickly had the starter on the table. Each course arrived very smoothly and with enough time between each that nothing seemed rushed. As soon as everything was finished, the kitchen was left spotless and Richard departed. It was all very relaxed. This was the most enormous treat and Richard made it very, very special. Thank you Fabulous Catering and Events! Annette and Vaughn Wiles

"What a fantastic experience. Food was exquisite. Nelson was so attentive. We were six females celebrating a big birthday and this meal and service was the end to a perfect day. We were staying in a hired lodge. We will definitely do this again. Would highly recommend - no complaints! Excellent!!"

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.
