From booking with Poptop Uk to having Mario as chef for our 50th Wedding Anniversary on the day, everything went perfectly. Mario was very professional and gave us a wonderful dining experience with a beautifully prepared and served menu. We can certainly recommend Mario and hopefully will be able to have him on another occasion.

Caz was the chef for our party and he was fantastic. He really made my husband's 40th a really special event. The food was delicious, he was friendly and professional. He was the perfect choice. He even came with a little gift for my husband and gave us some jams for the morning. He was brilliant and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is an asset to La Belle Assiette.

Marcello cooked our Christmas dinner for us at short notice so we could spend more time with our precious Mum. The food was amazing and Marcello is such a pleasure to have around. I would highly recommend Marcello and look forward to tasting his food and learning from him in the future. Thank you Marcello for helping to make our Christmas so special.

"I could not fault our chef Gareth! He was fantastic. It was a great experience and something I would do again. He was so accommodating to all of our needs. We had 2 vegan guests which had special meals. Very friendly and professional!"

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.
