À super experienced chef, Justin prepared a really original menu for us, with all dishes exquisite. He was flexible when it came to designing the menu, gave us a really interesting talk on foraging in the UK country side and designing his very own perfect knife. Last but not least he was punctual and left the kitchen in immaculate conditions. Another great recommendation from HOMEtainment!

This was a first for our family when hiring a large house for a 60th/70th and Jacob was great from the initial contact through to menu choice, flexibility and was very reassuring as the date approached. He arrived on time and was discreet, positive and down to earth and a joy to have around. His service support lady was equally charming and everyone was really impressed with the quality of food, presentation and quantity. Would highly recommend if you want a quality stress free dinner party. We had 24 people in the end with some last minute changes, which he graciously accommodated. Excellent all round! Would definitely hire again. Plus great value for money!

Andrea and his team were superb. Everyone at my daughter’s wedding mentioned their professional approach and the great cocktails.

Layla went above and beyond to make it special Layla was very professional and on time. She cooked the dinner to perfection and made sure she left the kitchen spotless. Everyone loved the food!

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!

Laila was an absolute star at our event. Thank you Hometainment for being super easy to work with!

Thank you to Hometainment for creating the most INCREDIBLE Matcha Bar for the Break Archive Pop-Up Shop. The professionalism from the team was amazing as well as the delicious matchas they made. They created us special menus using 'shaken matcha' to combine the idea of a cafe and a bar. We had queues all down the road for the matcha as word got on the street about how good they were (especially the strawberry) meaning our shop got great attraction! Can't recommend them enough!! Thanks to the lovely team for making everyone so happy and a HUGE thank you to Otto for making this process so easy and efficient - we couldn’t have done it without him. I look forward to booking again :)

Derrick, our mixologist from Hometainment, was absolutely outstanding. His professionalism and assistance during the event planning phase were highly commendable. On the night of the event, Derrick's "can-do" attitude was infectious, setting a fantastic atmosphere for the party. Having a bar with his expertise and the array of amazing cocktails he served added immensely to the party's overall appeal. It was a hit with all the guests, and without a doubt, I will be booking another home visit experience through Hometainment in the future. Derrick's contribution truly made the event memorable.

It was fantastic having Diana run the Reiki session for the group this week. She made everyone feel comfortable and welcome, and we had many wonderful comments from those who took part. The comms to organise it was really well done and the set up for the session super simple. We were also lucky enough to do the session our office roof garden which made it all the more special.

Jacob catered for my cousins hen do. His food and service was wonderful. There was lots of choice for the menu so we could make it tailored to our needs. Jacob was really great with catering for dietary requirements, especially around one of the guests being coeliac. I would definitely recommend Jacob if you are having a private party and need a chef.
