Chris was fantastic. He communicated with us before the event and was very friendly. The food was delicious and he explained clearly what everything was. Overall, it was a brilliant experience and we would definitely recommend and use him again. Thank you Chris.

Booked for Birthday party

Molly and Charlotte arrived and swiftly unpacked their things, we were told to sit back and relax, things happened quickly and seamlessly and shortly after their arrival Charlotte called us through to the table. The spring rolls were delicious as was the dip, steak for the next course came beautifully plated and also tasting delicious with a glorious peppercorn sauce, we chose the sticky toffee pudding and the creme brûlée for our dessert which just about finished us off. Molly introduced each course and asked if anyone had any questions. The service was perfect as was the cooking, all looking very effortless, everything was washed and put away, the kitchen was left spotless and we were left very very pleased. I would ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RECOMMEND Molly and Charlotte. It was a fantastic treat for my birthday.

Booked for Hen party

"We had the most wonderful dinner party on Saturday evening for our friend’s Hen weekend and we’re blown away with how good the food and service was. We are all big foodies and Claire and Alberto didn’t disappoint. The flavours and detail were so intricately put together, taking into consideration our hen’s favourite foods and flavours, and the service and atmosphere created was flawless. Claire and Alberto we’re also excellent at creating interesting and delicious choices for our vegan, vegetarian and gluten free guests. They made the evening a very special one and was even better than going out to a Mitchelin Star restaurant. The whole experience, from planning to the end of the evening was all very stress-free and the communication from start to finish was excellent. Thank you so much to Claire and Alberto both again. We’ll definitely be using you again and recommending you to our friends and family."

"Jilly Darling (our chef) and James (our waiter) were really good hosts, the menu and food were fantastic and our evening was amazing. They sorted everything out and every minor detail was thought of. The communication with La Belle Assiette was also first class on booking, confirmation and the run up to the evening. I would throughly recommend them all. DW Farnham"

Hampshire Supper Club

No reviews yet • 1 booking

This menu is composed of some of the best produce Hampshire has to offer. We run a monthly supper club, and it’s a hit! From home-cured salmon gravlax to new forest wild mushrooms on homemade bread. We compile the best of the seasonal produce available and make a menu that’s cost-effective, fresh and delicious. It’s what food is supposed to be, and that’s what we do best: we take simple, fresh, local produce and let it shine.
