Premium Bartenders in Hong Kong - Book Top Mixologists

So you want to host a chef-catered dinner party in London. I did, for my 50th birthday, and it came off absolutely brilliantly thanks to Chef Charlotte. Here's some advice: 1. Obviously, rent the AirBNB/event space with the largest dining area. This will likely not be big enough, however, and you probably won't have enough place settings, silverware, wineglasses, etc. We only realized this in a call with Chef Charlotte, who recommended an event hire company from whom we rented an extra table, linens, wine glasses, etc. 2. Tell the AirBNB owner what you're doing before you reserve: I didn't really, and for the week leading up to the event was pretty stressed out that the owner would object or worse, send over the police! 3. Use HOMETAINMENT. Antoine Melon, the founder, is dedicated to making your event a success and will likely reach out to you personally--exactly the touch that will make the difference. Thanks Antoine! 4. You will probably end up working with the first chef who responds to your inquiry--in our case, fortuitously, Chef Charlotte. And you'll probably be fine with any of the HOMETAINMENT Chefs they're all professionals, after all. However, I would recommend that you at least wait to hear from Chef Charlotte, who I would wholeheartedly recommend. 5. Keep things (relatively) simple. While I'm sure she can cook anything, Chef Charlotte recommends a menu that she has likely cooked a hundred times and can probably do in her sleep. She adapted it to accommodate our dietary needs (some vegans, garlic intolerance) and added a personal favorite of mine, a cold spring veggie soup which was amazing. 6. An assistant chef/server is important, and I'd make sure that your chef will have one (Charlotte will). 7. And ultimately, relax and have a great time! Chef Charlotte is a total professional, great to work with, and most of all, cooked us an unforgettable meal: Passed canapés: Roasted aubergine with tomato and black olive tapenade Salmon gravlax, toasted rye, mustard and dill sauce Dorset crab tartlets First course: Spring vegetable soup, gremolata Second course: Ravioli of new season English green and white asparagus Main course: Herb crusted rack of Cotswold lamb, spring vegetables, potato gratin, lamb jus, served with risotto of spring vegetables, basil pesto, pine nut crumb Dessert: Apple tart tatin, home made vanilla ice cream Bon appetit!

Professional, friendly, really lovely food! Left the kitchen spotless!!

We used the Hometainment team for a wedding anniversary dinner for my parents. As it happened the chef they had selected was ill at the very last minute, but the team found a fantastic replacement at the last minute. Chef Ory was exceptional - flawless food and made the evening for my parents. It can’t have been easy for the Hometainment team to sort a last minute replacement which would give me more confidence to use them again in future.

5 Stars!

We all had a fab time at the wine tasting and it was great to meet you Fleur! I thought it was very educational without being too much information and it was fun! The wine and cheese selections were also fab

Hired Poker Tim from Hometainment and had a great time, highly recommended! They are very flexible and can cater to any kind of social gathering, for players of any skill level. They brought chips and a table for us, and kept the spirits high all night.

Justin's grazing table at our housewarming party exceeded all expectations. It was incredible and everyone was talking about Justin and his food and passion for all things foodie. Thank you Justin for making our party beyond ordinary!

We hired Darren for a client drinks party - he was absolutely fantastic and brought that something extra to the party that made our guests feel extra special. Cannot recommend him enough, the audience were AMAZED

Jacob cooked for us and a group of friends for my husband’s birthday. It was excellent! Not only was the good delicious (and the kitchen left spotless) but Jacob was very friendly too. He was happy to have our 3 young children watch him prepare the food and answered their endless questions. It was a wonderful evening thanks to Jacob!

Excellent food and service! An amazing night . The food was perfect and an amazing attention to details
