Honor Townsend

Honor was very friendly and professional. The food was delicious and everything was served and presented beautifully. The whole experience was really good, and everyone both had a lovely time and felt that the occasion was a real treat and a pleasure.

Our family group of 6 people had a great evening with with wonderful food.

Fantastic evening, very discreet service with fabulous food, feeling very spoilt x

Honor cooked us a fantastic dinner - 4 courses, all excellent. She accommodated all dietary requirements, arrived with her team and equipment and did everything required with very little input from us, so we were able to enjoy a great meal with no hassle. I'd happily recommend her. Also, Ashley at La Belle Assiette was very helpful when booking. All in all a very easy, pleasant experience.

The caterer canceled this reservation 1 day before the event. This is an automated posting.

We used La Belle Assiette to book a chef for a dinner to celebrate my father's 80th. It was fabulous - the food was amazing and it was a very laid back and delightful experience. Honor took the time to go through each course and explain the ingredients - we all felt that we had not had such a delicious dinner in a long time (or indeed ever!) and certainly not at home.
Honor was helped by Nick who provided brilliant low key service. We would absolutely recommend Honor and Nick to anyone who was looking for a wonderful experience and absolutely delicious food. Top marks!

Excellent service bent over backwards to help sort a chef at the last min.
Honor was very professional and the food was superb. Guests really enjoyed the evening.
Thank you

Could not fault Honor one bit. Professional, friendly and amazing chef. Food was amazing!!

All in all a fantastic evening. Honor treated us to a veritable feast. Each new course produced squeals of delight from us diners and the taste certainly didn't disappoint. From canapes to pudding, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Of particular note was the lamb which was cooked to perfection - juicy pink and meltingly tender. And all the while, Honor remained calm, professional and friendly. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her.

A delight from start to finish. The canapés were different and tasty, the right bite size too. Crab tian starter with leaves a delicious blend of ingredients to give a rounded flavour. Then ravioli with sage and butter which was just as it should be. The main course of lamb and aubergine with goats cheese and red pepper sauce was cooked perfectly and well balanced. Not a scrap left.
Tiramisu, which at first sight looked too big, was so light and oozing with gorgeousness it was gone in seconds. Honor was quietly efficient and is a talented chef , and the whole evening was a huge success. Well done!

What a fantastic evening! Honor's food was sublime, from the first mouthful of mini eggs benedict and porcini tartlet canapes to the last savoured morsel of tiramisu she gave us an authentic Italian meal to remember. The crab tian starter had just the right hit of chilli and a delicious freshness and looked as stunning as it tasted; then in true Italian style we had a pasta course - a divine homemade ricotta and spinach ravioli with sage and garlic butter. The lamb rack, perfectly pink and tender, was a fantastic match to the spicy red pepper sauce and grilled aubergine sandwiched with goats cheese (fab). The whole meal was rounded off by the most indulgent, heavenly tiramisu. How Honor managed to prepare, cook and serve this feast with apparently no stress at all is beyond me! She carried it off with the calmness of a real pro and enabled us all to have a wonderfully fun evening focused on our guests. Brilliant. I'm looking forward to our next party!

From exquisite canapés to her light-as-a-cloud tiramisu, Honor cooks sublime food that you really want to eat! Her elegant dishes combine the very best of local produce with distinct Italian influences and every course looked stunning and was perfectly executed. Throughout our meal, Honor was a calm and unobtrusive presence and we were served professionally and efficiently. The evening unfolded effortlessly, enabling every guest to enjoy the food in a relaxed atmosphere. We would recommend Honor without reservation and would definitely use her ourselves in the future.

Honor was an absolute joy. Open and warm, she engaged with the guests for an informed cooking class as we prepared canapés. Every dish was cooked to perfection, flavours had depth and with immaculate presentation. She kept on top of things in a very professional yet personable manor and the kitchen was spotless. We would highly recommend her for any function as she clearly has a great range and adaptability.
