Bogdan was a most amiable and proficient chef at our 16 person Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration. The remote spot we chose did not phase him, and he brought and prepared the food we ordered very efficiently and with care and patience. The canapes were beautifully decorated and tasted super. The sea food starter was fresh and delightful - freshly baked bread with truffle butter was a real hit. The Beef Wellington, a tough one to get right, was expertly cooked, and generous portions. Boozy tiramisu was a perfect ending. Even the children's meal was devoured with relish. Even tasty macaroons were provided as a lovely extra. A great and special evening. Highly recommended.
La Belle Assiette's website made it easy for us to find a personal private chef to cook for our large family of 14 on our family vacation in Nice, France. We were given several menu options and were able to choose and customize our 3 course menu. Our chef's meal was delicious and perfectly prepared, and it was a highlight of our trip.
Got in touch fairly last minute for an event the next week. Belle Assiette found us available menus and within the day we had it booked in. A few days later the chef reached out to us to agree on the menu and finalise anything different for dietary requirements.
Would definitely recommend LBA, and wanted to give a huge should put to our chef Mike with Ginger it Catering Ltd who was great to have in the house, cooked a delicious 6 course meal, waited on us fantastically and left the place spotless.
Thank you Mike!

We were given an experience as a gift…
We were given an experience as a gift for our 50th birthday. We moved house and missed the 12 month expiry date by a few weeks. There was no sympathy, no empathy (we were both upset), it was a brutally commercial flat “tough”. No refund of several hundred pounds to the donor, not a bad way to earn money. I certainly would not recommend or use a company with such poor customer relations

UNTRUSTWORTHY AND SHADY- DO NOT BOOK
DO NOT BOOK WITH LA BELLE. They sent out a notice to all bookings at the end of May that they were shutting down operations and that the website would be completely unavailable as of June 15th. We had our elopement dinner booked with a chef through them that we were then scrambling to find an alternative for. In the meantime, we requested a refund. After a nightmare of going back and forth over a dozen times with them, with no responses or vague responses with no follow through, I was finally able to get the refund processed- but they kept their booking fee. They decided to send out an email on June 8th- 3 days after they have disabled their website for users to manage their bookings- that they had decided they could maintain operations. But by that point, we’d already managed to book the same chef through another platform. I’ve now requested them to refund the booking fee multiple times, but they claimed they could still meet the booking so they didn’t have to, and I’ve already told them that’s not possible since that chef isn’t available to them on that night since we booked him elsewhere. They are no longer responding to any messages I’ve sent requesting the remaining balance. This business practice is completely unacceptable and untrustworthy. Do not risk your event with this shady business.

Beware of this site and Marco Scire…
We hired one of their chefs Marco Scire for a 50th celebration. The food was substandard. He used cake mixes and supermarket meat. He didn't display any of the skills you would expect of a professional chef and was aggressive and rude to everyone. He has to be asked to leave the estate before the celebration meal leaving us without a chef. He then was threatening. We contacted la Belle Assiette and they have ignored our complaints and we have been unable to place a review- I don't know how anyone has placed the reviews they have as we could not find a way to put one on their website. Beware!!

Highly recommend, fantastic experience.
Morganne prepared a stunning 4 course meal for 12 of us celebrating my Husband’s Birthday at a farmhouse in Llanwrtyd Wells.
Morganne and her Husband were fantastic and the food was simply out of this world! Very creative choices for each course, using home grown ingredients and all absolutely delicious.
The whole party thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommend, far better than eating out.

Relaxed, special evening with wonderful food
So enjoyed our wonderful meal that Domenico put together for us. He kept me informed from booking the event to turning up at the front door. He was enthusiastic with a real passion for what he was cooking for us. The table was dressed so nicely and he made all 15 of us sat at the table feel as if we were his guests for the evening. The food was delicious and Dom explained why he had chosen each particular course for us, together with how he had created it. We all felt very special.

A perfect evening from Marianne
Chef Marianne was professional from beginning to end. The food was lovely and the 8 girls had a great evening. Marianne was organised and very tidy, and left as if she hadn’t been there with everything spotless. Obvious bags of experience and was a delight.

Kasia and Richard were absolutely amazing
Kasia and Richard were absolutely fantastic. I wasn't sure what to expect as we did it through La Belle Assiette but they were so so brilliant. Kasia even got in touch a few days before to ask to change the menu as she wasn't pleased with the quality of the ingredients which is amazing. I cannot recommend her enough. They were so professional, the kitchen was cleaner than when I left it ! They did amazing service, was so friendly and we can't wait to have them both back. Thank you Kasia and Richard for making my birthday so so special
