I Won the experience of having a La Belle Assiette via a competition. It was amazing! The chef was very nice and couldn't have been more happy and helpful! It was the best Christmas dinner I have ever had. There was plenty to go around and lots left over. The whole family enjoyed every part and he left the kitchen gleaming! Thank you so much!!
We had a wonderful evening - Paul and Sandra were superb, from the absolutely delicious mussels to the wonderful lemon tarts, we enjoyed every mouthful. Thank you to them both for a fantastic evening!
I booked a three course lunch for my parents, to celebrate my mothers birthday. Not only did my parents absolutely love the experience, but they told me the food was beautiful, Paul was such a pleasure to meet and ( my mother was over the moon at this) he even did the washing up!! A huge thank you to Paul for his incredible chef skills and for making the entire lunch such wonderful and enjoyable time. I will certainly look to book Paul again. 10 out of 10!!
I found the whole ‘Restaurant at Home’ experience to be quite pleasant. The food was great, the chef was professional and friendly and it allowed us to a great evening with our young children close by tucked up in bed.
Paul and his assistant provided a beautiful meal. The food was delicious. They were very flexible with the timing. The unexpected disruption of young children that hadn't mad it to bed when expected did not phase Paul. Paul and his assistant were attentive and satisfied everybody's needs. Not only did they providing a wonderful meal, on completion, the kitchen was left spotless. First class.
It was a lovely evening with a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious.
A fabulous evening - with not a thing to worry about. Will definitely do it again. Great food and great company.
Rich traditional cooking
I enjoy cooking for others!
