Booked for Birthday party

Greg arrived and carried on his set up quickly and efficiently whilst we were all enjoying a glass of bubbly. When everything was ready we sat at the table and course after course (5 in total) were presented to us. The food was wonderful and beautifully presented, we had one vegetarian who had slight variations on each course but without any fuss or making him feel uncomfortable. I have a severe nut allergy so after Greg's reasurance i was able to enjoy my meal worry free. After the final course he quickly cleared and removed everything back to his van and was gone allowing us to continue our evening celebrations after a lovely meal and a spotless kitchen. I would recommend him and would definitely use him again if the occasion allowed.

Booked for Christmas party

Edward and Nick were very prompt, apologising for the few minutes delay due to a road accident; they had already advised me about the delay whilst en route. They laid the table out very attractively with Christmas decor. the canapes were excellent and beautifully presented. The whole 5 course meal was very nice indeed and the service was excellent. The attention Nick paid to the two little ones was really appreciated by all of us. Ed's cuisine was lovely. We all had a wonderful family christmas lunch. Thank you Ed and Nick !

Booked for Celebration

Ed made us a Spanish meal for my mum's 70th birthday celebration. Communication beforehand was great, and we all really loved the experience - Ed was very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. The kitchen was also left spotless. Would absolutely book him again.

Booked for Birthday party

We booked Ed for my 40th birthday dinner and he was 5-stars all the way. Very responsive in the build up, arrived early and was professional throughout. The food was fantastic and he catered for a vegetarian and gluten-free guest perfectly. Would highly recommend! Sam

Booked for Private party

Overall the service was good. The chef was friendly and her food tasted really really good and was well presented on the plate. The downside however came after the event and when we went into the kitchen. The dishes had to be redone as they were not clean. The cooker had to be cleaned as it was dirty (oily and greasy). We later discovered that our spatula had partially melted, it must have been placed on a hot hob as one of the hobs has what looks like melted plastic on it. This was quite disappointing as cleaning up after is promoted heavily by Dineindulge.

Booked for Birthday party

Excellent service, great food and the kitchen was left spotless at the end of the evening. La Belle Assiete made the booking process very easy too.

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.
