About us

At AB DORSET CATERING, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional catering and private chef services in Dorset, tailored to your unique needs. With years of experience in the industry, our team is dedicated to providing delicious food and impeccable service for every event.

As a chef, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of creating memorable experiences through food. For over two decades, I've had the privilege of doing exactly that with AB Catering, crafting dishes that bring people together and celebrate the extraordinary produce of our region. 

Our kitchen in Dorchester is where the magic happens but it's out there, at your chosen venue, where everything comes together. From intimate family gatherings to grand celebrations, we approach each event with the same dedication to quality and service.

I've always believed that good food should be accessible without compromising on quality. That's why we work hard to maintain competitive pricing whilst never cutting corners on ingredients or service. It's about finding that perfect balance between excellence and value.

After more than 20 years in this industry, my enthusiasm for creating perfect occasions through food and service remains as strong as ever. Whether you're planning a small family celebration or a large corporate event anywhere within our service area, my team and I would be delighted to help make your occasion truly special.

We believe in using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients to create our dishes. We source from Dorset farmers and suppliers to ensure the best flavours and presentation for your event.

Our service area stretches 30 miles from Dorchester, encompassing some of Britain's most beautiful countryside and venues. I'm particularly proud of how well we know the local area, its wonderful venues and holiday homes. This familiarity allows us to provide a seamless service, anticipating needs before they arise.

From our kitchen in Dorchester, my team and I take immense pride in creating everything from scratch. It's a principle I've stood by throughout my career in hospitality and catering. We're fortunate to work with some of the finest local suppliers across Dorset, Somerset and Devon. These relationships, built over years of trust and mutual respect, ensure that every ingredient that enters our kitchen meets our exacting standards.

We understand that every event is unique and requires a customized approach. Our team works with you to create a personalized menu that fits your taste, dietary restrictions, and budget.

My culinary style marries modern British cuisine with classic French techniques and Mediterranean influences. It's a combination that works brilliantly for everything from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations. I believe in letting the quality of our ingredients shine through, treating them with respect and allowing their natural flavours to take centre stage.

I'm incredibly fortunate to work with a team of skilled professionals who share my passion for excellence. Together, we've built a reputation for reliability and flexibility. Whether it's a special dietary requirement or an unusual request, we always strive to say "yes". It's this approach that has earned us such positive feedback from our clients, reflected in our excellent Google reviews.

What sets us apart is our commitment to honest, passionate service combined with competitive pricing. We understand that each event is unique and we take genuine pleasure in tailoring our menus and service to meet our clients' vision. The joy of seeing guests enjoy our food and service makes every early morning and late night worthwhile.
