I booked chef Silvestre for three of my friends 40th birthdays. The food was incredible and I would highly recommend him. He cleaned up after and left the kitchen spotless and was very quick. Such a lovely man and his helper was lovely too.
Silvestre was the most professional, friendly and talented chef
Chef Silvestre and his colleague were incredibly professional and friendly. The food and service was amazing and we had a fantastic experience. This was booked as a celebration dinner for my mum's 75th birthday, and she thoroughly enjoyed both the meal and the whole experience.
Chef Silvestre was extremely professional and served up an amazing menu for us. We really enjoyed the variety of food which was delicious. The experience overall was amazing!
very friendly and professional chef
Silvestre was professional, precise, personable and punctual. Would highly recommend!
We hired him to cook for my father’s 75th birthday. He called soon after the booking to talk me through the menu and asked about allergies etc. We ended up messing him around a bit over the venue, but he took it all in his stride. He had quite a small kitchen to work in, but it didn’t seem to bother him at all. He served up exactly when he said he would and even had to make up a different starter for someone who had an allergy to shellfish that we didn’t know about. Again, he was fine about it and made an excellent alternative dish for them. We found him to be charming to talk to and quite funny too! Afterwards he cleared everything up and left us with very little work to do.
Cheers Silvestre!
Silvestre was so professional and was lovely to have around! He even let our kids help out a bit. The main course really stood out and the quality of the ingredients was amazing! I'd definitely recommend Silvestre!
Silvestre cooked for us the most delicious meal! Everything was perfectly tasty, meat perfectly cooked, veggies fresh and well cooked...The presentation of the plates was beautiful and synchronisation of the lunch excellent. Finally, Silverstre is a very intelligent and interesting man, with loads of experience and also very nice disposition. A dream chef in your own house!!! We surely recommend him!
Great service. Highly recommend.
Chef Silvestre was very accommodating, stepping in to take on a menu unfamiliar to him after the original chef dropped out. He was always quick to respond and friendly. He did an excellent job on the night and kept our rather large and loud crowd in check and well-fed. His light-hearted character yet professionalism meant having him with us was a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
We had the perfect meal made by Sylvestre last night. The food was excellent and Chef Sylvestre was the height of professionalism but with the right level of involvement and friendliness. I would have no hesitation in using him again or recommending him to friends and family.
Wow !!!! What can I say ... Prior to my event I spoke to and had communication on various occasions with Chef Silvestre. We discussed my menu and made alterations to my choices and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. He and his assistant arrived promptly on the day 4 hours before my guests arrived and cooked every dish from scratch. They found their way around my kitchen and left me to relax and get ready for my guests arrival.
We were served our champagne and canapes and every dish was explained as it was served.
I cannot fault them in any way - how wonderful to have a party where dinner was served and I could relax and the kitchen was spotless when they discreetly left. I would 100pct book again.
The whole experience exceeded expectations - it was truly excellent and made a special evening extra special!
We had a fantastic time with Chef Silvestre. He was very capable and skilful in his preparation and presentation and his assistant was great. Chef Silvestre himself was very gregarious and he added to the evening with his personality alone. We were extremely happy with the experience and would definitely look to recommend Chef Silvestre.
Chef Silvestre was excellent. Professional and personable. Provided insights into which wine to have with the meal, talking through the menu with me before the event and on the evening with guest sharing some cookery tips as well. It was like fairies had been in the kitchen - no mess and I couldn't quite believe my pots and pans can deliver such wonderful food!
Our 2nd fabulous experience with La Belle Assiette, this time with Chef Silvestre Inacio.
As previously a great choice of menus, and helpful service pre and during booking. Chef Silvestre was great on the phone in helping adjust the menu to suit our dislikes and dietary requirements.
On the day chef arrived on time, and set about preparing a delicious meal for us, which was challenging in a rented house with not much workspace. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and we really enjoyed chatting with Chef Silvestre during and after the meal, comparing notes on food in the UK, Holland (where our friends were visiting from) and Portugal.
I would not hesitate to recommend La Belle Assiette or Chef Silvestre to others, and he will be our first choice for future events.
Chef Silvestre produced a magnificent 3 course meal for my Mum's 60th birthday. The food was delicious and well presented. Chef Silvestre was very easy to get along with and kept us all entertained. We would definitely use him again.
Thanks Silvestre for creating a lovely meal and a great atmosphere.
Silvestre gave us all an excellent dining experience. He was very friendly, very professional and easy to get to know. In addition he was resourceful in getting around in a rented house where we didn’t know where to find all the plates needed, etc. The canapées were served outside, but the dinner table was in an open kitchen. He was not faced by that at all, but got along with all our noise. The meal was really very tasty, all of it, but especially the duck and the dessert. In addition he made an excellent birthday cake with a portrait of the celebrant. In the end Silvestre felt like a member of the family. A 5 star meal in a family setting, we have no regrets in hiring him. We did it from the menu description which was perfect for a July celebration.

What a fabulous evening we all had with Chef Sylvestre. Our meal was absolutely delicious!
Sylvestre was unobtrusive and polite. He didn’t rush us and it was lovely to take a break and a stroll between our fish and meat course. The kitchen was left clean and tidy.
Great value for money and a real treat.
We will definitely be booking again in the future and recommending to our friends.
Thanks for making my husband’s 60th a night to remember.
What a wonderful evening we had! Chef Inacio was everything we hoped for and more. He discussed the menu before and was very helpful in making suggestions and changes as per our requirements. The end result was a very successful evening with friends. He arrived promptly on the time that we had agreed on. And from then to the end of the meal he was superbly efficient and an absolute delight. The food ingredients were of really high quality and the overall experience was exemplary. Not only I but my 10 year old would highly recommend him. I would without a second thought book him once again.
Chef Sylvestre was amazing - we had lots of different dietary requirements and he was kind enough to adapt the whole meal to suit everyone!! Thank you so much we all enjoyed our meal very much.
The booking went smoothly. Chef Silvestre Inacio was punctual, friendly and very accommodating which made the experience a great one in addition to the excellent food.
Wonderful experience, great chef, very friendly and great cook!!!
Thank you sulvestre and La Belle Assiette for making our dinner so special. Highly recommend service and chef!...
We had a wonderful evening and the chef was truly experienced, friendly and the food was so delicious!
Silvestre crafted the most amazing meal for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary. His food was delightful but more than that, he also offered a charming and attentive service to ensure our evening felt as special and relaxed as possible.
Relaxed, based on good ingredients but keep it simple focus on natural tastes.
Fish because of the variety and the different textures and tastes.
Herbs in general, they always turn the simple into amazing.
Vegetables, they are a big source of taste, texture, smell and color.
