Richard Johnson

Richard Johnson was excellent. The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. He was a really nice person too so was lovely to chat to him as he worked. Very well prepared and the kitchen was extremely tidy afterwards.

The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic. I can't rate Richard highly enough. He created a menu to suit our diverse needs and when one of the party became vegetarian late on in the planning stage he just sorted it with no fuss at all. We had the event at a rental cottage and Richard brought everything with him. He was attentive yet unobtrusive even though we were in a dining kitchen so he was there while we ate. There was absolutely no mess left afterwards. Some comments from our guests were "the best lamb Ive ever eaten", "pudding to die for" and "amazing canapés". I would definitely recommend the private chef experience.

A big thanks to Richard who created a wonderfully memorable evening for our parents 50th Wedding Anniversary and a lovely night for the whole family. Prior to the day communication was excellent by both the admin team and Richard who carefully listened to our requests and created a perfect menu. On the day he arrived on time and was the perfect balance between friendly and professional, working away in the background but also chatting with us so he was a great part of the experience. Food was AMAZING and everything was left clean and tidy. Couldn't fault La Belle Assiette and would highly recommend.

Richard cooked an amazing meal for us. I can honestly say it was faultless and the best meal we ate for the whole week of our stay in Suffolk.

We had a most enjoyable lunch.
Richard was friendly, accommodating and the food was fantastic.
Would definitely recommend him.
Thanks again Richard as your lunch helped us celebrate a very special 80th Birthday in style.

We had great dinner with chef Richard. The food was lovely and service was great.

The experience was excellent and could not have made the evening easier for myself or the guests. Richard was accommodating and friendly and the food was delicious.

Chef Richard and his Assistant Fran gave us a lovely dinner party on Saturday evening for us and our 10 guests. We started with canapés and champagne, and then a sit down 7 course dinner. All the food was beautiful and served professionally.

Richard cooked a wonderful meal for us. He and his assistant Fran were totally professional throughout and made our guests feel very special. Highly recommended

A fantastic evening with delicious food cooked and served by Richard, all the food was of the highest standard, and Richard could not have been more pleasant a lovely evening had by all and would not hesitate to recommend.

Chef Richard was lovely and arrived on time. Nearly everyone gets lost coming to our house so that was a bit relief. Food was good (not fabulous but nice - canapés were delicious btw). Washing up was in dishwasher (thought it would be washed and dried). Request for reviews came in by both text and email within seconds of Richard leaving (certainly within minutes) which is presumably nothing to do with Richard but which made us feel a little less special. Having said all that we had a lovely evening. Thankyou..

This was the 1st time I have used any sort of private dining for an event and I was not disappointed.

Chef Richard's food was amazing and really made my mums birthday one to remember for a long time. I will definitely be using La Belle Assiette for future events.

Everything was great! We had no complaints whatsoever!

A brilliant evening with chef Richard Johnson cooking the food. Shortly after booking he contacted me and was very accommodating with adjusting the menu for individual dietary requirements. He arrived promptly on the night and was very patient (we were a bit late starting). The food was amazing and everyone had a great night.

Richard was a pleasure to deal with. Before the event he was quick to respond to emails and was happy to change parts of the menu we wanted to tweak. On the night he was punctual, professional and cooked us a fabulous 3 course meal - the kitchen was left clean and tidy too!

Fantastic fine dining experience. Chef Richard Johnson was very friendly efficient and added extras to the event. Thoroughly recommend him! Thanks Richard for a well presented dining experience.

Very professional service and superb presentation all in a relaxed atmosphere.

Many many thanks to Richard. We had an amazing meal. The food was beautiful, the beef was melt in the mouth and all of us could have eaten the Pear tart over again. But it was all the little touches that really made the experience so special for us the warm bread and olive oil on the table, iced water and glasses, kitchen left immaculate. Can't recommend Richard, his cooking or the service highly enough. Thank you

amazing chef, amazing food, would highly reccomend.

Excellent overall experience-Richard the Chef was professional, friendly and informative throughout

La Belle Assiette was an easy to use service with staff following up on bookings to make sure everything was in order for our event. The chef Richard made prompt contact with us to discuss our likes, dislikes, and dietary requirements. He then prepared a menu tailored to our likes within 24 hours and was accommidating of any changes we wanted. He was professional, knowledgable, and friendly throughout our meal. All of the food he prepared for us was delicious and we polished our plates after every course.

An effortless way to host a dinner party! Chef Richard 'phoned to introduce himself and did all the ground work asking about the facilities in my kitchen and the type of menu I would like. Once we had agreed the menu, hey presto, he turned up promptly on the night, spotless in his Chef whites and proceeded to cook a beautiful and delicious three course dinner. Accomplished cooking, high quality ingredients and charming service. Everything all cleared away at the end and the kitchen left spotlessly. A perfect night in and highly recommended. Thank you Richard for the hard work and effort you made in making our evening a great success.
