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!

Marmite provided fast and clear responses to all questions.
Fantastic list of menu ideas and, if these don’t float your boat, Ian is happy to cook whatever you want!
Ian was great value and generous of spirit.
Friendly, professional and flexible both in the run up to the event and on the night!
Ian, I really appreciated your flexibility on timings on the night, as well as everything else!
We enjoyed having you around, the food was spectacular and the kitchen was left spotless.
You took any stress out of the evening and I was able to relax and enjoy every moment.
A huge thankyou from us all!!
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.
Liverpool is a city that’s all about people. We’re famous for our warmth, our wit, and our love of a good get-together. A private chef experience taps right into that spirit. It’s not about being stuffy or formal; it’s about creating a fantastic atmosphere where you can properly connect with your mates and family.
Think about the last big party you hosted. How much of it did you actually get to enjoy? Probably not much, between checking the oven, topping up drinks, and clearing plates. When you hire a private chef, all of that disappears. They are your personal culinary hero for the night. They plan the menu with you, source the best ingredients, cook up a storm, serve everyone, and then, like a kitchen ninja, they clean everything up before they go.
From Birthdays to Boardrooms: The Perfect Scouse Occasion
A private chef isn’t just for a quiet anniversary dinner (though they’re brilliant for that too). Their skills are perfect for all sorts of events across Liverpool, adding a touch of class and taking away all the hassle.
Weddings & Celebrations: Your wedding day should be as unique as you are. A private chef allows you to ditch the standard hotel packages and create a completely bespoke menu. Imagine an elegant seafood feast in a stunning waterfront location or a relaxed BBQ in a beautiful outdoor space. It makes your big day even more personal.
Corporate Parties & Networking Events: Want to impress clients or reward your team? Forget the beige buffet. A private chef experience is a seriously smart move. It’s sophisticated, memorable, and shows you put real thought into it. It’s perfect for networking events where you want to create a relaxed but professional atmosphere.
Birthday Parties: Whether it’s a massive 21st, a landmark 40th, or a chilled-out family celebration, a private chef makes it feel like a proper event. You can design a fun, themed menu or a sophisticated tasting experience. It’s the ultimate birthday treat.
Your Gaff or the Albert Dock? Choosing Your Venue
One of the top perks of hiring a private chef is that you’re not stuck in one place. The kitchen comes to you, wherever that may be. And in a city as stunning and diverse as Liverpool, you’re spoilt for choice.
Your own private home is always a winner. It’s comfortable, there’s no curfew, and it’s completely personal. But if you fancy a change of scenery or need a bit more space, Liverpool has some incredible options.
Private Homes: From a classic terrace in Aigburth to a modern city centre flat, there’s nothing better than being served restaurant-quality food in your own gaff.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Waterfront Locations: This is one of Liverpool’s superpowers. Imagine dining with your guests against the backdrop of the Three Graces and the River Mersey. Many waterfront venues can be hired for private events.
Historical Venues: The city is steeped in history, with stunning Georgian townhouses and converted warehouses that provide a dramatic and elegant setting for a meal.
Outdoor Spaces: When the sun decides to make an appearance, why not take the party outside? A chef can create a gourmet BBQ in a place like Sefton Park or your own back garden.
Pubs: A proper Liverpool experience! Many traditional pubs have brilliant function rooms. Hire one out and bring in your own chef for the ultimate private pub lock-in with incredible food.
Modern Event Spaces: From the cool, creative hubs in the Baltic Triangle to sleek new developments, there are plenty of modern spaces that provide a stylish blank canvas for your event.
What’s the Scran? A Taste of Liverpool’s Finest
Right, let’s get to the main event: the food. Liverpool’s food scene is absolutely buzzing, with influences from all over the world. The city’s private chefs are a reflection of this, ready to create a menu that will blow you and your guests away.
This is where you get an event that is uniquely yours. It’s a collaboration. You can chat with the chef, share your favourite foods, and design a menu that’s perfect for the occasion.
Seafood: As a port city, Liverpool has a rich maritime history, and that means access to fantastic seafood. A private chef can create stunning dishes with the freshest local catches, from scallops and sea bass to classic fish and chips, but elevated.
British Classics: Think of your favourite comforting dishes, but taken to the next level. A modern take on Scouse, a perfect Sunday roast with all the trimmings, or an elegant afternoon tea.
Mediterranean: Light, vibrant, and full of flavour. Perfect for a sociable gathering, with dishes inspired by Spain, Italy, and Greece. Think tapas, pasta, and fresh salads.
Fusion: Liverpool has always been a melting pot of cultures, and its food reflects that. Chefs love to blend different culinary traditions to create dishes that are exciting and unexpected.
BBQ: Not just a few sausages on a disposable grill. A private chef can put on a proper gourmet barbecue with marinated meats, grilled fish, creative vegetarian options, and delicious side dishes.
Seasonal Menus: The best chefs work with the best ingredients, and that means cooking with the seasons. This ensures your menu is always fresh, vibrant, and at the peak of its flavour.
International Cuisines: Whatever you fancy, there’s a chef who can make it. From spicy Thai curries to rich French classics, you can take a culinary trip around the world from your own dining table.
The Bottom Line: What’s it Going to Cost?
Okay, let’s talk money. You’re probably thinking this all sounds amazing, but expensive. You might be surprised. In Liverpool, you can expect the price for a private chef experience to be somewhere between £40 and £100 per head.
Of course, the final price depends on a few things, like the number of courses, the ingredients you choose, and the number of guests you’re inviting. But here’s the crucial thing to remember: that price is almost always all-inclusive. It covers the chef’s time and skill, the food shopping, the cooking, the service, and the full cleanup.
When you add up the cost of a three-course meal in a nice restaurant in town, plus drinks, plus a service charge, you’ll often find that a private chef offers incredible value for what is a far more personal, luxurious, and memorable experience.
