Book a Contortionists in Hong Kong for an unforgetable event

We engaged Chef Stefano to cook a multi-course Christmas Banquet for our family of eight in London in December 2024. For context: we are a multi-generational family, all gourmands, (at one point I was an anonymous restaurant reviewer) with varying preferences in terms of cuisine but thankfully the common ground of the flavours of the Mediterranean, which was the brief we provided Chef Stefano. To say Chef Stefano surpassed our expectations is an understatement. Ten months later and I am still dreaming of the symphony of starters that was a beetroot gravlax with salmon, marinated sea bass that showcased the fish with a vibrant citrus and dill dressing and finally beef Carpaccio that was simplicity rendered decadent. Yes, it was thinly sliced beef and there were parmesan shavings, however, the truffle and mustard condiment was nothing short of ambrosial. The write-an-essay-about-it chicken liver pate fashioned into Christmas tree forms (the children in our number loved that touch) was smooth, rich, suitably boozy with the marsala wine and intense in flavour. And because portions were generous, it was a welcome addition to the breakfast table the following morning! For our main course we opted for Porchetta and baked salmon topped with pomegranates. The medley of sides ranged from perfectly executed classics such as roasted parsnips and carrots (which Chef Stefano made festive with the addition of a maple syrup dressing), lentils baked in a pumpkin gourd and a raw broccoli salad with pine nuts and baby spinach leaves that was a refreshing counterpoint to our other choices. Our puddings of Monte Bianco and Tiramisu were the kind of conclusion of dreams::meringue pavlova, chestnut cream, chantilly and chocolate on one hand, and layers of coffee soaked biscuits with the optimal ratio of mascarpone and chocolate on the other. Chef Stefano also prepared a lasagne for the children as an additional dish - a thoughtful inclusion in case they were picky eaters - but devoured by us all with alacrity. The effusiveness of this review is also due to Chef Stefano's professionalism. He arrived on time, plated everything beautifully and created a culinary experience that my family and I will cherish for many years to come.

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

Fantastic evening Thanks so much to Layla for a fabulous meal and for allowing us to have a relaxed time and be together without having to lift a finger! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We had a lovely evening to celebrate my daughter's 21st she really made it a special celebration. Many thanks.

Our bartender, Mattia, was truly outstanding! We had to make a last-minute booking just four hours before our company event due to a change in plans. The support team at HOMETAINMENT, along with Mattia, displayed exceptional speed and professionalism in accommodating our request. Mattia quickly took charge of our bar, offering fantastic cocktail suggestions that perfectly complemented the party's atmosphere. His mixing skills were precise and impeccable, and he even extended his service for an additional 30 minutes to ensure our evening continued smoothly. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mattia for his contributions. This marked our second successful OFFICETAINMENT event, and it was made memorable by his exceptional service.

David was truly outstanding. We arranged this event for our members, and it was an absolute hit!

Awsa. Pronounced with the same vowel as ‘Awesome.’ This is no coincidence. They are one and the same.

Where do we even start! Firstly, Gonzalo has been the most amazing help from day one. He has exceeded all expectations we had! Their website and booking process was extremely easy and very straightforward! Their photo booths are like no other… whatever i asked for they did for us! They personalised the images to suit our needs and send us the online photos in less than 24hrs. They set up sooo quickly! The equipment is so elegant and looked amazing at our wedding venue, unlike anything I have ever seen. Our guests were obsessed!! Some of them wouldn’t even leave the booth! The quality of photos and the experience is like no other! My husband and I cannot recommend live shot enough! So many people have asked us for their contact for their events! We will 100% be using them again! Gonzalo, thank you again for everything! You guys where amazing!!

Great service, Hometainment delivered a wonderful event for our company combining food and entertainment. We'll be back for the holidays!

We had Jacob cater for our 30th birthday party and he seemingly produced this fantastic food out of thin air and left the kitchen spotless! Would fully recommend.

I cannot recommend Jacob more! From start to finish, Jacob was incredibly professional and kind. Communication was great - shared menu options, had a quick call and we were set. Even when I had to add three guests the night before our event, Jacob was incredibly accommodating. He arrived a bit before the dinner to prep, was friendly and engaging with us (and even our dog Tina)! Now for the food - five star restaurant quality in your own home. We did the crab & chili beignets and macerated tomatoes for canapés which were a perfect start to the night - and only got better from there. Highlight was the ribeye main - so buttery, probably one of the best ribeyes I’ve had (and I’m from Texas)! All in all, we’ll definitely be working with Jacob again and will be recommending him to everyone I know - thank you Jacob!
