Booked for Hen party

Paul was absolutely brilliant! Food was delicious and beautifully presented! It was the highlight of our weekend hen do! Fab communication from Paul throughout booking and on the run up to our meal and was very accommodating when I had to request a change to one of the courses for myself due to dietary restrictions. He even found the time to take some group photos for us despite catering to 8 of us in a fairly small and ill equipped kitchen! Would highly recommend and definitely would book again for future events!

Booked for Anniversary

What an amazing experience and one that we will definitely do again. Chef Guido was brilliant. He arrived exactly on time and cooked up an amazing four course menu. We had a fancy dress murder mystery party that evening and Chef Guido delivered all of the sumptuous course exactly at the right timings to fit in with each stage of the evening. It was truly special and thanks to Chef Guido it was a complete success. Trust me, book him now as he will be in demand. We will definitely book again. One great thing is when we got back into the kitchen after we finished the evening it was spotless. Highly recommended on service, food quality and value for money.

We were absolutely spoilt. The food was amazing and Paula our chef was lovely. It was so wonderful not to have to clear everything up. The variations of courses were ideal and the risotto was delicious. A really wonderful experience that we'll repeat.

Booked for Birthday party

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.
