Wellbeing Experiences Hong Kong. At Home or Office

We used Andrea and the Olive & Pineapple team to run the event for our company party. Everything was seamless but most of all they made it fun! 300 guests with bespoke drinks menus, cocktails and plenty of communication before the event to ensure all bases were covered. It was a City Pub Company staff party so all hospitality staff who were really impressed from start to finish. Top work and excellent service!

We used Olive & Pineapple team to run the event (again for the second year in a row) for our summer company party. Andrea and his team did an amazing job and the service was impeccable and professional, looking after over 300 people all hospitaly staff who really had a lot of fun enjoyed the paty. Looking forward to the next one. Highly recommended!

Jacob cooked a wonderful summermenue for my birthday party ! Everybody liked it. He made provisions for an allergic guest and was always very accommodating and very relaxed . He has a really nice personality and it was a pleasure to have him for this special event . Fab!

Chef Michael and his wife did an outstanding job in providing the exquisite food for our wedding reception. The menu selection, preparation and presentation were all conducted to perfection. He certainly brought Michelin standards right into our home and our guests really appreciated it. We will certainly recommend Chef Michael's services to others and use his again, as and when the occasion arises.

Wow, what a wonderful experience. We’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of our business and, as part of a series of activities, we wanted to memorialise the anniversary day itself. Working with Hometainment we decided the best way to do this was to commission and artist to help us create a painting to celebrate who we are and what we do - word of mouth marketing. After lunch we returned to our office, which has been dressed and prepped by Hometainment. We were in the safe and amazing hands of artist Anton who guided us as we all painted pieces of a large canvas. He ensured that even those with very little artistic ability (myself) felt included and like an actual artist. We also recreated the company name as a series of smaller canvas, one for each letter. These now all adorn the entrance to the office, and our large canvas masterpiece hangs in the board room. An amazing experience, an amazing artist - thank you Anton - and a work of art to ensure we never forget. All brought together in a super-polished, hyper-efficient way by Hometainment. Thank you.

We managed an intimate gathering with professional presentation and service - the food was delicious and Jacob a pleasure to have around

Incredible experience for our corporate team. Thank you, highly recommend.

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!

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!

A delicious Spanish-themed feast for 17 people! What a talent! Charles designed, prepared and delivered a wonderful menu for us for my daughter's birthday. He was able to accommodate dietary requirements with ease (which was amazing for me). On top of producing a really delicious meal he was quick to reply to messages, send menu ideas and keep me updated on the evening. He also (equally important to me) kept the kitchen clean and tidy! Charles is incredibly easy to deal with and I would recommend him without hesitation.
