We had a fabulous evening with with our 'Fabulous 3-Course Dining Experience'. Richie was punctual, professional and provided us with tasty and well presented dishes throughout his stay. We would highly recommend this service as a special treat. We were 4 adults celebrating a silver wedding.
Absolutely fantastic! Foodwas delicious and perfect paella experience for our Spanish themed party. Thank you 🙏
Richie cooked a delicious paella for our family celebration. I would highly recommend him. Great communications throughout the process, he arrived promptly (despite getting
caught in heavy traffic which he kept me aware of), got on with the preparation without any fuss, served everyone (including seconds!) and cleared away silently with nothing for us to clear up. A stress free way to entertain a large group and all at a very fair price.
It was a fantastic evening! My wife loved the surprise and we really enjoyed the food prepared by Richie. It was also a pleasure getting to know Richie, too! Would definitely recommend him.
Ritchie cooked us a fantastic 3 course meal and offered some great tips on how to improve our own cooking! Thanks!!
Richie arrived right on time. Quick to acquaint himself with the kitchen and ready to roll. The food was just amazing. Its like having an army of elf’s and fairies in your kitchen. Everything was left spotless, no drama, excellent food. A taste sensation. Such an amazing effortless (on our part at least ) evening. Could not have asked for more. Thank you so much Richie.
Amazing food, Richie was lovely, like a magician, came in produced amazing food, no mess then left.
Absolutely faultless. Richie is a fantastic chef and on top of that an all round good guy. The food he prepared was delicious and his overall relaxed persona made the night for us. Thanks Richie
Richie did a great job! Fantastic Paella and great service. Couldn’t ask for more!
Couldn't be more impressed with everything! Richie was really wonderful to deal with, and the food was absolutely amazing. We arranged the meal for my Husband's 40th, he didn't want to go out so Richie brought it all to us. I'd never hired a chef before, and being just the two of us eating i wondered if it would be awkward. Not in the slightest, Richie is very personable and made the night very special, he even silently let himself out so we carried on with our evening uninterrupted. We are still talking about just how good the food was with everyone that will listen!
Throughly enjoyable private dining experience. Ritchie was great from menu planning, to the event itself. Great service and delicious food. Would highly recommend. Alison
Richie turned up on time and cooked us a delicious Paella. Thank you
Lovely meal for my mum & dad's 25th wedding anniversary. Everyone said how much they enjoyed the food! I couldn't have picked a hotter day for poor Richie to cook in but he soldiered through. Thanks again Richie!
Excellent service from start to finish!! Richie was wonderful and the food was fantastic! Highly recommend!!
Absolutely fantastic evening - thanks again Richie. To all those thinking of making a booking - do it! Food was excellent (way better than we expected given the basic kitchen he had to cook in) and he really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. From wearing a mask (this was the first interaction we’d had outside our family post the lockdown, and we were a bit nervous) to not letting us pour our own drinks, to leaving us enough leftovers for another dessert the next night, he couldn’t do enough. Also very good communication before the event which was useful as this is the first time I’d used a private chef and wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. He’s also a really nice guy and knows when to get involved in the conversation and when to melt back into the background and leave us alone. I don’t normally leave reviews on sites like this but had to for Richie as was genuinely impressed. Will be booking again for our next special occasion.
I booked Richie for my partners birthday as we were worried about going out during this time. It was the most amazing evening, all thanks to Chef Richie and the most delicious food we were served. I had ordered drinks from a cocktail company which Richie then took the time to prepare and serve us which was a lovely bonus. As my partner and I have different tastes, I had asked Richie if we could have two separate mains which he was more than happy to do. Overall my partner and I had an amazing time and loved every second of the experience. So much so that we are booking in Chef Richie for a bigger family meal in the near future.
Thank you Richie the Paella was very good, very professional .I recommend the servicie.

Food was great quality, tasted amazing and well presented. Caterers were amazing to do business with, really helpful and attentive. This was only a small order but i will definitively use this service again and will also recommend to my friends and colleagues 5 stars all the way
Richie was fabulous - really made the day very special.
What a fantastic professional service provided for me on my engagement dinner .Would recommend him 100%
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!

Delicious food, beautiful presentation and extremely professional service. Cannot recommend Richie highly enough.
Richie was absolutely fantastic & the meal was amazing! Such a treat, wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Great service
Richie was so kind to us and produced a completely delicious Paella lunch. He was very flexible and didn't need anything at all, it was all very relaxed and he took himself away while we ate, and cleared up beautifully. I would definitely recommend using him and will be using The Fabulous Catering Company again. Thank you Richie!
