Booked for Hen party

We hired Chef. Pat for a wedding celebration for 8 people and he was amazing. He arrived and had to carry all his equipment up a lot of stairs , was flexible with his times, very friendly and checked with guests who had dietary requirements and food was exactly as described and tasted amazing and he then cleaned everything up afterwards and took out the rubbish! We couldn’t have asked for anything more and would definitely use him again. The Poptop service was brilliant also with easy access and prompt response to queries raised so would definitely recommend it.

Booked for Hen party

Amazing experience! The chef was so lovely and gave us explanations of each dish. The food was exceptional! Each guest individually commented on how amazing the quality of the food was - we were blown away to have that level of service and food in the comfort of our own home. Couldn’t recommend Mike enough! Would have his service again in a heartbeat

Booked for Christmas party

Hired Charles and Albert's mobile bar for a christmas party and I cant rate them highly enough. They were forward leaning and helpful when booking and sorting out themes etc in the build up to the event. They turned up in plenty of time and set up a fantastic looking bar with a brilliant themed cocktail menu. The quality of the cocktails was superb and they were busy all night! The whole team were lovely and very friendly throughout the whole process! Would hire these guys again without question!

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
