“Modern European in style, British ingredients & French at heart.”
– Ben Piette, Chef Patron
Welcome to London House
London House is based in the heart of West Byfleet in Surrey. Run by owners Ben Piette and Lornette Valentine, along with their team, they work to bring you the complete dining experience from start to finish.
Recognised by the Michelin Guide since 2012, their approach to food is simple, full of flavours and modern in presentation. London House is all about provenance, seasonality and creativity.
Seating up to 48 people, the modern feel dining area is nicely spaced out with the walls displaying contemporary art painted by local artist and friend Hannah Petrioli. As well as the dining room offering a relaxed atmosphere and view into the kitchen, they also have a CHEF’S TABLE, offering a 6 course tasting menu, where you can wine and dine in style and experience the theatre of the kitchen.
Pre & Post Drinks
Why not complete your dining experience starting in their bar, Camouflage, which is based next door to the restaurant. Like London House, it has carefully selected drinks and hand-picked wines as well as craft beers and a selection of cocktails.
(Please note, Camouflage regularly has private functions, so please check their calendar before you go to avoid disappointment.)
The Chef
Ben Piette, owner and Head Chef of London House, was classically trained in Frejus, France. Travelling to London on a one-way ticket to London in 1997, speaking no English, he worked his way up from as a commis chef in Cafe Rouge and then moved onto various Michelin Star restaurants, before eventually moving to Surrey.
Prior to London House, he was at McLaren as Hospitality Chef, cooking for the likes of Ron Dennis, Lewis Hamilton, amongst other drivers and sponsors of the team. He also travelled with the race to the Singapore and Monaco Grand Prix.
Masterchef Professionals
In 2010 Ben entered Masterchef Professionals and was one of the final six, making it to the semi-finals, before eventually being knocked out. His success on the show, is what gave him the stepping-stone to what we know is London House restaurant.
