AB DORSET CATERING

Meet Your Dorset Chef

I’ve spent over 25 years cooking in hotels, pubs and restaurants across Somerset and Dorset, and those kitchens shaped the way I cook today — simple, honest food made with care. I’m a chef who believes in local ingredients, proper home‑cooked flavours and dishes that feel generous rather than fussy.

Now, through AB Dorset Catering, I bring that same approach to weddings, private dining and events across the county. Whether it’s a slow‑cooked main, a rustic sharing board or a comforting classic, my focus is always the same: good food, cooked well, for people who appreciate it.

PRIVATE CHEF DINING

We cook the way Dorset deserves — simple, seasonal, home‑cooked food made with ingredients from local farms, fishermen and small producers. As a private chef, I bring honest flavours into your home: slow‑cooked dishes, fresh vegetables, proper sauces and comforting classics made from scratch.
