Absolutely wonderful! Mari was on time and just lovely. The evening flowed and no stress (including a very clean kitchen at the end of the night). We trusted Mari to make a very memorable experience and will definitely book La Belle Assiette again! Jenny
Absolutely perfect, there is not one thing we could fault. Our chef Mari was so professional but also very friendly. The food was superb the night was so relaxing and Mari left the place spotless.
Cant praise Mari highly enough. The menu perfectly executed from a great salad through to the best Sticky Toffee pudding! A relaxing but high quality dinner for us to celebrate Dad’s 80th.
Sorry for taking so long to send my review.
Every person in my party was absolutely thrilled with the meal that Mari cooked for us. My brother thought it was the best cheese soufflé he had ever had and he has been to loads of dinner parties!!! The main course of chicken was so succulent and tasty and the fabulous dessert of the salted caramel brandy tart was so gorgeous!!! Mari and Rebecca were so friendly and helpful to all our needs and helped with drinks and serving everything so beautifully.
Mari was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent.

The chef kept us involved during her service, she was fun to talk too and the food was absolutely lovely . My friends and I had a wonderful time.
Meal for our daughters birthday was well presented and enjoyed by everyone in the party. Great not having to do the cooking and clearing up.
The chef provided a delicious meal with well presented dishes, it was an amazing experience.
Mari was fantastic!! She came fully prepared with some absolutely beautiful food. This was my first experience with La Belle Assiette and from start to finish it was perfect. It was so good for my wife and I, as we have recently had our first child and eating it is something we rarely do these days. So bringing fine food of the resturaunt to the comfort of our home was brilliant. We didn't have to worry about a thing.
Our experience with Chef Mari Brown was absolutely lovely! The food was delicious, great explanations of what was served and a sparking clean kitchen was left afterwards!
Mari and the waitress she brought along were both lovely, polite, punctual and really allowed you to relax in your own home. The food was superb and the kitchen was spotless when they left!
We had a fantastic meal and a great experience!
Mari was professional yet friendly and made our evening perfect.
This was a gift treat for us and we enjoyed every second. Thank you very much Mari!
