Harry was highly professional and created a wonderful dining experience for us at our holiday home. The food was outstanding and he curated a perfect menu to fit the requests of our group. We hope to use him again! The booking experience was also super seamless. 10/10 experience!

Booking process was easy and clear. A couple of days before the event, comms were sent to make sure we were prepped eg leave 2 shelves in the fridge for the chef, chef arrival time, tipping etiquette etc. customer service was quick to respond to any questions. On the day, chef called beforehand to check if we had any questions, they arrived on time with all the ingredients and left leaving the kitchen spotless. During the night the service was top, they used the tools in the kitchen freely so not to disturb us.

What can I say apart from fantastic! The chef was great and dressed our table beautifully, the food was outstanding and all cooked fresh ( can’t believe he made chocolate fondant from scratch with us all watching). Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and have passed in your details to the lodge owner to pass on to any future guests. Thanks to everyone involved in making the evening very special.

"This very experienced couple made my event. We spoke in advance of the event and designed an amazing menu and B&D sourced all the food from their contacts which was stress free and economical. The food was amazing, they arrived promptly and were incredibly professional, hard working, caring, thoughtful and proud of they’re work. They also helped us when our waiting staff didn’t turn up and helped us out with serving to help the day be a success. They were superstars. The food was delicious, tasty and looked great. My guests and We were so impressed and we frequently host parties and large scale events for friends and family and we will use them at everyone going forwards, if they’re available. They don’t any references on this website as they’re new to using it. But they shared two contacts with me who recommended them and I would have give anyone a reference. My only criticism as they undersell themselves and their price point. They’re a class act!"

Well organised, chef was excellent and unobtrusive , catered for some variable dietary requirements. Communication with La Belle Assiette was easy and friendly

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.
