Laughter-Filled Comedy Club Experiences in Hong Kong

Sarah’s food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully! Everyone loved the family style sharing plates which were all very generously portioned. Sarah was super communicative in the run up to the event and kindly printed out menus for me to set on the table. Her husband was also great fun and ensured everything went smoothly on the evening! The kitchen was also left immaculately- thanks SO much!! I would recommend Sarah to anyone :)

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!

She catered a small informal dinner party for me . It was a pleasure dealing with her - planning the menus and all of organisation was easy and she immediately understood what I wanted for the event . Her cooking, food presentation and serving clearing were all impeccable I look forward to using her services again

Hired excellent helpers, all very efficient. Great experience. Thank you

To have a chef in your kitchen cook g for you is a huge privilege but ChefArnaud offered so much more than this. He glided into our kitchen and instantly read our family so well, within minutes it felt as if he were a long lost friend. He worked in my kitchen as if it were his own, finding everything he needed with no fuss and very few questions. He engaged with my daughters aged 7 and 9 teaching them how to cook egg fried rice while making them giggle and laugh. They both fell for him immediately. The food was delicious and his chat was great! The only difficult moment was opening the door at the end of the night and saying goodbye! My husband said it was the best birthday present I’ve given him!

Jacob made us such an exceptional dinner - we loved every mouthful of it! We had both the pork and salmon canapés, crab crumpets to start, surf and turf for main and the sticky toffee pudding to complete a wonderful meal. Jacob was warm and friendly, and clearly takes great pride in his work. This was the first time we have had someone cook in our home for us and we would definitely book him to cook for us again. Thank you Jacob - you helped make my husband's 40th a very special event!

Just to say an incredible thank you to Crystal-Lee and Derrick. They went above and beyond for me yesterday. We were all so happy!

Jacob was friendly relaxed but professional. Great food and the whole evening went very well

The menu was absolutely delicious and the service Sarah provided was amazing. She was responsive in the lead up to the event and nothing was too much trouble. Sarah was happy to time the meal perfectly despite us running behind. She served up 3 scrumptious courses that met everyone’s needs and left my kitchen sparkling! I will definitely be hiring her in future.

5 Stars!
