Krzysztof Eugeniusz Ziòłkowski

We had an amazing experience with Chris on Christmas Day.
The food was delicious.
Chris was professional from beginning to end and he brought a server along which helped to make the whole thing feel more special. We all thoroughly enjoyed each course and would definitely recommend Chris to anyone.
It was our first experience with a price chef but we all agreed we would do it again.
Thanks to Chris for helping to make our Christmas Day a relaxing and enjoyable one.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATORY DINNER
NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE
I phoned Chris before the event to ask what time we could expect him. he said he likes to arrive 2 hours before service.He knew Guest were arriving at 19.00 hours for canapes etc with sitting down at 19.45
Chris phoned and said he expected to arrive at 18.30 but arrived at 19.15 - after all the guests had arrived
.My wife and I became increasingly anxious that the Chef had not arrived.
Chris brought with him Gerald to serve at table and he was excellent - in fact I gave him a £40 tip.
The meal was enjoyable although I was disappointed that the Prawns were served "shells on" which considering the occasion - Men in DJs etc - was very messy
At the end of the evening my wife pointed out that the kitchen floor was still filthy. Thay made an attempt to clean the floor further.
After they had left we discovered that the Dishwasher was not working - all the settings had been changed. THEY DID NOT TELL US THIS. On opening the machine my wife found best quality china very badly stacked in the machine - still unwashed..The machine is less than 2 years old and was working perfectly.. The dishes were so badly stacked that an irreplaceable coffee cup is cracked and chipped. As a result we were washing plates and dishes etc by hand at 02.00 in the morning. They had even stacked silver cutlery in the dishwasher despite my telling them not to.We are now waiting an Engineer to fix the dishwasher.
There are other places where damage has occurred on kitchen surfaces where hot pans have been placed. Clearly the Chef had no regard for my property
We have had a number of Chefs through your organisation and on every other occasion the kitchen has been left spotless
IF THIS HAD BEEN OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH YOU WE WOULD NOT HAVE USED YOU AGAIN
I suggest you seriously consider removing Chris from your list of available Chefs

LUCKILY OUR GUESTS LEFT UNAWARE OF THIS DISASTER

Chef Krzysztof Eugeniusz Ziòłkowski was incredible. We’d never had a private chef in our house before. He was punctual, very organised and made our 10 year wedding anniversary we were celebrating really special. Not only a fantastic chef but a very talented cocktail maker. I couldn’t recommend him and the experience more!!

The food was nice it was just unfortunate the chef’s attitude wasn’t great. Arrived and said hello didn’t shake my hand introduce himself or anything. During the meal I expected him to come in and introduce himself to my guests and and explain the dishes like most chefs, but no. Didn’t even come in at the end to say did you enjoy the meal etc. Then left without saying goodbye or shaking my hand I just caught him walking through my gate and shouted thx and waved. Not what you would expect from a top range chef at almost £100 a head.

Really wonderful food, and catered to the different dietary requirements really smoothly, much appreciated. I did get the impression that the space was actually too small for what I wanted to do though, and would have appreciated push back when I initially submitted my request so I could have adjusted! I didn't realise how much stuff would be brought along, and with an open plan kitchen / diner it was quite a squeeze!

Great service from start to finish

Chris was great and even brought some help to serve the food. The food was fantastic and of a sufficient amount and quality. Everything was on time and left as found. A great experience!

Krzysztof was excellent. Great communicating and flexible beforehand. And very personable and produced fantastic food on the evening!

A wonderful evening. Chef Krzysztof was superb and the food was amazing.

Absolutely fantastic, chef kris gave us such an amazing experience. We could not fault it, thank you so much we will definitely use him again.

A wonderful evening - thank you!

Kris and Gerrard were great - very efficient and friendly and coped with all the requests! Kris stepped in after our original chef was unavailable and cooked a great range of food including adapting the menu for three kids. We loved the whole experience and would definitely use them again.

Very accommodating especially as we booked last minute. They did an amazing clean down after. Thank you.

Charming people, amazing food and excellent service

Brilliant evening delivered by labelleassiette. Kris was fantastic chef, food was amazing and the service exceptional. Highly recommend.

Chris was incredible. He cooked a wonderful wedding lunch for 12 of us. Everything was perfectly done, from the introductory call to check items and dietary requirements on the menu through to leaving the kitchen cleaner than when he found it. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use him again. He made what could have been a stressful day completely seamless and definitely impressed my guests. Thank you!!

Totally excellent! Krzysztof was brilliant form the planning right through to cooking, serving and clearing up. We all had a great night with superb food. I will certainly use the service again. Ten out of ten.

We had an incredible evening with Chris, as a gift to my husband for Fathers Day. The food was out of this world, cooked with incredibly fresh ingredients and such precision. Presentation, service and personability were on point. The chef was so creative and had many great stories and lessons to share about cooking. We can’t wait to have him back in our home!

Très charmant chef , sérieux , et sympathique

The cocktail was fantastic, chef was very friendly and really went the extra mile. Chris even produced gluten free pastry for me!

The Chef, Kris, was fantastic. His manner, his cooking, hus interaction with my family all spot on. This review is about my poor experience with la belle assiette who I will never use again.

We had an amazing time and Chris made everything easy and hassle free for us. We had a wonderful BBQ with friends, where the food was full of flavour and excellently cooked. Chris happily and easily accommodated changes in the menu to cater for some special dietary requirements. I really appreciated his professionalism and friendly demeanour that meant we all could enjoy the party and delicious food, which received praise from the guests. I would highly recommend his service, and higher him happily again.

Great food. Very experienced chef. What a lovely afternoon. Thanks Chris.

What a night fantastic chef and crew would highly recommend and will definitely have Kris back

Fabulous experience! It was our first time with La Belle Assiette, and Chris provided an amazing meal and seamless experience. He was very thorough in planning, and he put together a meal that left the group full and in awe. We will certainly be coming back

Fantastic food. Excellent quality, timings we’re stuck to and service was good. Kitchen was left spotless, it was lovely.

We hired Chef Chris for my wife's birthday and he made the event very special. The food was beautiful and we will definitely use the service again.

First Class Customer service - including the Table Menus- Chris turned a Family Anniversary Dinner into a very special occasion - especially the pre dinner Cocktails and canapés served by our own Waitress which set the mood for the evening.
The excellent 4 course meal (waitress served) turned it into a very special Family Memory for us all look back on.

The best service ever and very professional. I will definitely use his service again. Kryzsztof was really amazing and professional He delivered beyond my expectation and that is always a great thing for me. He kept the kitchen very tidy afterwards. He is also a very punctual person. The dishes were very amazing and filling. There was no buts, in all this I was really impressed. Very great guy.

Chris was excellent- professional and extremely conscientious at communicating and agreeing requirements

We had an awesome meal with Chris. He was professional, cooked an amazing meal, and tidied the kitchen up so well. Everyone had a great time and i would highly recommend

Absolutely phenomenal experience. The chef was a real class act, very passionate, a true professional and we will definitely be looking to book again.

I was so impressed, with our chef and the food. He really did make the experience very special, catering to all of my guests' dietary needs. The food was incredible and I would definitely recommend the service and chef again. Really fantastic!

Excellent chef! Very good ingredients. Extremely subtle recipes. Perfect timing and service. Perfectionism from start to finish

Both the food and the Chef were really good but the service was disappointing and so was the state of the kitchen afterwards.
So a little let down this time.

Tout était super. De la facilité de la reservation jusqu'au dessert du Chef ! Je recommande la Belle Assiette !

We found the service you provided was excellent and we had a totally positive experience with Krzys. He is an excellent creative chef and his friendly personality definitely added to the fun of the evening. He gave us a wonderful memorable experience. Thank you.

An amazing experience !!!!

We had an amazing evening with chef Krzyzstof. He cooked a superb 4 course menu for us and also made delectable cocktails. There were several allergies he needed to cater for and he did so in his stride.
I highly recommend him.

Kris was simply an amazing Chef -

Had a wonderful meal prepared for six, everything went perfectly. The dishes were of top quality which made it the best meal every served in my house. This was nothing less than a feast.
Chris was constantly the professional answering questions, at the end of the meal all the dishes were washed up and the kitchen cleaned.
Thanks Chris, the family had a great time.

Chris went the extra mile to make our anniversary meal a very special occasion and the food was delicious. He took the time to explain each dish and the ingredients that had gone into it and had his friendly manner topped it all off. Will definitely be booking him again.

Excellent – no reservations, I would recommend this company to anyone.

All went very well! Despite my rather last minute booking, Chris prepared a wonderful meal catered to our taste and was even able to source kosher meat.

Great, seamless and professional service all around and everyone was very very happy with how the evening went.

Communication was excellent; organisation superb. We had a guest with a severe nut allergy and this was well catered for. The extras - the cocktail, cheese and coffee were nice touches. My house was left spotless!

A great idea - bring the chef to your home. Awesome range of food, well priced all the work done for you and cleaned away. Chef Chris - 32 Degree - was fantastic - served the lamb for 10. Thorougly enjoyed by everyone. Cannot recommend highly enough

Krzysztof arranged an excellent menu for us on a special occassion. Good ingredients, great taste and very nice service (able to tailor dishes a bit according to your needs and preferences) from Krzystof.

Kyrs, was great! and helpful. He brought a lady with his to serve who was excellent. I had the most amazing time. An will be choosing him again.
Food was amazing friends were stund and happily. So much food to go around everyone was full up. Also other friends started arriving and they got to eat as well! Brilliant.
He presented me with a birthday give in front of my guest. He was AMAZING!
Book him yoou wont be disappointed.

Wonderful!

Excellent service and food. Highly recommend Krzysztof. Cocktails were die for as well as crab ravioli. Makes us think why do we usually go out to restaurants when one can have such an amazing experience at home. Will book again.

Great choice of chefs and menus and La Belle make it seamless!

Delicious food, great service and communication. Will definitely use again. Thank you

Excellent experience from start to finish - from a thorough call to work through the menu and make some small adjustments - to the exceptional service on the evening and delicious food. Krzysztof and his assistant Dina were so friendly, cooked and served a beautiful meal and left the house in a very clean state. The crab main course in particular was stunning.
Would definitely recommend and use again

We had a wonderful Father's Day meal with Chris and La Belle Assiette. Chris created a delicious vegan menu especially for us, even taking the time to learn how to make vegan mozzarella and other vegan items that he hadn't made before. I am still dreaming of the vegan panacotta that he made for us. We had three children as part of our party and he added some lovely little touches to the meal which they enjoyed - eating dips from a filo basket and an edible bowl filled with fruit were the highlights for them. Even my picky eater ate some dishes that he's never tried before. This was top quality food and Chris and his team were a pleasure to have around the house. They also left the kitchen cleaner than it was when they arrived!
