Brown Goose Catering

Rob, Polly and the Brown Goose Catering team catered at our wedding for over 100 guests. In short, they were exceptional, from start to finish!

From the beginning, Rob was extremely easy to communicate with. The menu choices provided to us were more than enough to satisfy all tastes/dietary requirements. And then once we had the taster session, we knew we were onto a winner...

Our wedding venue was completely new to Rob and his team, and with the challenges that were presented to them leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day, they managed to deliver an excellent service that we will forever be grateful for.

So many of our guests commented on how good the food was too!

Thank you Rob, Polly & the team. If we ever do another function, we will be sure to contact you again! More...

What an amazing evening. I had planned a secret weekend in Lyme Regis for my other half's 60th birthday with 14 friends (he was the only person who didn't know :-)). I asked Rob to cater for our Saturday evening meal and it made the whole weekend.

From not having to go out in the cold, to wearing slippers with our dresses, having Rob and his two ladies - who's names we didn't get - come to the house, do all the preparation, serve fantastic food (and lots of it) and clear up was the best idea.

Communication with Rob was excellent and the choices that I had to get down to just two for each course was amazing and it was such good value for money as well.

If you are considering using Rob for your event, just do it :-) More...

Very good personal service. Efficient , no fuss and great communication. Got back to me very quickly despite short notice requests. Great food for a Sunday lunch for 16 adults and plenty of it - delicious, and no setting up or clearing up afterwards- a real treat in our home from home. Thank you Rob & Richard. More...

Rob, recently catered for my husband’s 40th birthday and it was absolutely fantastic! There were 19 guests in a relatively small open plan space with Rob, Gemma and Richard working very closely around us. It still felt as though we were in a fine dining restaurant. The food was divine and the service was faultless. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much for making our evening very special. More...

Brown Goose offered a faultless, friendly and professional service right from the moment I first made an enquiry. Rob was first to respond with menu details and options , our food on the night was exquisite , and both he and his wife Polly are just lovely , joining in with conversation and stories. They catered for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary - who were blown away with it all. I would thoroughly recommend using Brown Goose - you'll be in good hands. More...

What an amazing evening.
From the minute Rob & Polly arrived and took charge we knew we were in safe hands.
This was a celebration of my in-law’s 50 years of marriage and Rob & Polly were consummate professionals from the start.
Couple this with some of the best food we have had the pleasure of eating and it all added up to a sensational experience.
If you book the services of Brown Goose you can sit back, relax and enjoy a meal to remember.
We would book again without hesitation. More...

Rob was helpful and prompt with emails and clear about what was being provided. On the night, he and his team were friendly but efficient and professional. We felt completely relaxed and were able to enjoy spending time with our family without any stress. The food was excellent right the way through. Everyone (21 of us) said how good it was - we've done quite a few of these catered events now and this has to be one of the best. Can thoroughly recommend. More...

I can highly recommend Brown Goose Catering. I booked them to do a private dinner for a 60th birthday celebration. The food was excellent and we were given lots of choices in advance. The team quietly took over the dining room and kitchen to set up and cook while we all relaxed and left us to carry on celebrating while they cleared up. A wonderful experience. More...

Rob cooked us an amazing celebration dinner for 8 on Saturday. He seemed completely unfazed by cooking in an open plan holiday home kitchen while the rest of us enjoyed champagne and the food was delicious. Rebecca laid the table and served quietly and discretely, even offering to take photos of us all . Would highly recommend. More...

We used Brown Goose Catering whilst we were staying in a holiday home in Wimborne for the weekend, celebrating my hubby’s 50th birthday. I can’t rate them highly enough, from the moment you first get in contact with Rob until the moment they leave the kitchen (you would never know they’ve been!) On the night itself, Paul (chef) and Julie (staff) were amazing and we were waited on hand and foot. We had a 3-course menu and we couldn’t fault the food, it was delicious. You will not regret booking with them! More...

Rob cooked a fantastic three course meal & canapés for our group, and made the evening super relaxed by serving and cleaning up everything up for us - an especially impressive feat, since a change of events on our part meant there was no waitress to help him out. The dishes were really high quality and generous in size. I would highly recommend Brown Goose, and Rob specifically. More...

If you are looking for a chef to come to your home or holiday home, then look no further. Rob and his team (Brown Goose catering) are just totally amazing. From the canapés to the sorbet to the cheeseboard, the food quality, presentation and choice of menu is exceptional. Rob is a professional chef producing top quality food. We had two different hirings during our holiday hire on Norden Farm, Corfe Castle, both were celebrations for my husbands 50th. We had a family meal for 16 and a meal for 14 with friends. Both were top quality, thoroughly enjoyable and the evenings were memorable. It was such a treat to have the service and no washing up. Everything was spotless and cleared away after the meal service. Communication throughout the booking was reliable, clear and organised even down to small detail of keeping it a surprise! I would thoroughly recommend Rob and his team and will definitely use him again in the future. Thank you again Rob. More...

Rob and Polly made our evening very enjoyable serving up a delicious menu. Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup, Smoked West Country Venison, Sirloin of Dorset Beef with roasted vegetables, Raspberry and Tarragon Sorbet, Yoghurt and Vanilla Panna Cotta and to finish local cheeses. Everything was divine! An outstanding service that we would highly recommend and will of course use again in the future. Thank you Brown Goose! More...

Rob & Lisa did an amazing job for my mum's birthday. Rob had to deal with a variety of food intolerances, offering a wide array of dishes for each course which were very hard to choose between as they all sounded so yummy. The table was decorated beautifully & the food & service were amazing. We were made to feel so comfortable & poor Rob had to deal with our hire house facilities which weren't the best. Thanks you Rob & Lisa for a wonderful experience! X More...

Fantastic, professional and an overall superb experience with Brown Goose for our hen night. Great communication with Rob from start to finish, and the food was equal to fine dining - absolutely outstanding! ! The canapés especially were a huge hit with everyone.

I recently had Brown Goose cater for a hen party I had organised, we were staying in an air b&b house so not our own. Rob was fantastic as we had problems with the oven which we forewarned him about. In terms of booking, choosing menu and paying this was all very easy and flexible. Rob arrived bang on time with staff to help wait on us. Food came out again on time, we had a 5 course tasting menu, it was fantastic, our bride to be is vegetarian so we opted for a vegetarian feast with 1 fish course, it was better than any restaurant and such good value for money! Everyone in our party (7) were all blown away with the quality! Rob then cleared away and left the kitchen probably in better condition than when he arrived!! I would thoroughly recommend Brown Goose, he made us feel relaxed and provided a fun atmosphere in our own home! More...

We used Brown Goose to cater for our Wedding Reception at Moreton Village Hall.
Rob was brilliant and gave us exactly what we asked for. Without any of the usual wedding price dump.
We asked for sandwiches, sausage rolls, quiche, cakes and scones. All the food was delicious. We could not fault any of it.
They catered wonderfully for all our food allergies and dietary requirements and the coeliacs said the gluten free options were spot on.
The food was plentiful and there was never any danger of there not being enough to go around.
We asked for the food to be out on tables when we arrived and it was presented beautifully on the tables with cake stands. It was a great compliment to a brilliant day.
Thank you so much

Rob and Polly cooked and served a most excellent 3 course dinner for my wife’s 40th. The food was delicious and well presented. Brilliant to be able to choose a choice of 2 items for each course. Although the weather was quite snowy they were still up for the challenge. I was a little concnered about paying the full price up front a week before but after speaking to Rob was reassured and we had a wonderful dinner. Certainly will be using him again, hopefully minus the snowy weather. A great alternative to going out to eat for a family get together with added bonus of not needing to find a baby sitter. More...
