HOMETAINMENT makes HOME entertaining
stress-free

I am so happy that Andrea was our mixologist for a big birthday celebration. Not only are his cocktails fabulous, he is highly efficient and a positive presence!

Always a pleasure having Jacob round, so calm, collected and exceptionally polite too. Whenever friends visit the city Jacob is the first person I call as I know his food and presentation never disappoints’

We booked Hometainment for an Italian event, and the canapés were incredibly delicious. The presentation was impeccable, and the taste was excellent. The preparation and cleanup services were outstanding. Antoine understood our needs perfectly from the first meeting. I highly recommend Hometainment.

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!

HOMEtainment came to our rescue and exceeded our expectations! Our experience with them was absolutely incredible. We found ourselves in need of a professional photographer for a last-minute corporate event photoshoot, and HOMEtainment delivered promptly, providing us with a skilled photographer within just 12 hours of our initial inquiry. The booking process through their app was seamless, and the photographer arrived the very next day. Our photographer's talent and professionalism were outstanding, contributing significantly to the overall success of the event. Without a doubt, we would rate the entire experience with HOMEtainment a solid five stars!

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!

Delicious! Amazing service and incredible quality of food. The prawns, mussels and lamb were absolutely delicious. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

We were thrilled with our chef prepared team lunch. Food arrived in good time, all of the teams dietary requirements were catered for and the food was delicious. We are all looking forward to next week's lunch. Thank you Chef Greg and Hometainment.

Maximilian was booked for our Uber Boats by Thames clippers xmas party. The performance was amazing. Everyone was very engaged with Maximilian's magic. Thank you for entertaining us during our welcome drinks.

We were very fortunate to have Mimi cater our wedding. From the get-go Mimi was super engaged, flexible and approachable. When it came to the actual weekend Mimi was a force of good-natured efficiency. She kept us aware of any issues that need our input but without adding to the inevitable last-minute wedding stress. She was even up at 4 AM checking on the slow cooking lamb! On the day it was all better than we could have hoped for. Everything was utterly delicious, but also and importantly for us not the standard wedding fare (apart from honey mustard sausages obvs). The Asian pork belly was a particular favourite canape of mine as was the tuna tartare. The lamb for the main was honestly the best I have had, and I know several typically non lamb-eating friends had to do some soul searching afterwards. I would recommend Mimi to anyone for whom food is a priority. She provides something a bit different (and in my experience better) that most catering companies, helping to create an atmosphere that will feel uniquely yours
