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!

I recently experienced Andrea's cocktail-making masterclass for our work summer social, and it was an absolute blast! Andrea was fun, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable. The drinks we crafted were stunning and delicious. The intimate setting made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a fun and unique event! Cheers! 🥂

This home dinner was incredibly delicious and uniquely crafted. I would gladly recommend Your catering service!

I am very happy with the experience. The chef and mixologist I booked for my birthday party were excellent. The canapés were delicious, and my guests loved the cocktails. The mixologist was very attentive, ensuring everyone had a drink. It truly added a special touch to the day. Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Chef Jojo's sushi platters through HOMETAINMENT, and it was truly a culinary masterpiece! Each sushi piece was a burst of exquisite flavor, meticulously crafted to perfection. The symphony of fresh ingredients, vibrant colors, and impeccable presentation elevated the dining experience to new heights. From traditional classics to innovative creations, Chef Jojo's sushi platters take you on a delightful culinary journey. I had the opportunity to choose four options from each section of the sample menu, and it was a tough decision because every option sounded fantastic. The sushi was not just a meal; it was a work of art. Chef Jojo's attention to detail and dedication to quality are evident in every bite. In particular, the Nigiri Sushi Platter showcased the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The Maguro Nigiri and Sake Nigiri were absolute highlights, offering a perfect balance of flavors. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Dragon Roll from the Maki Sushi Platter; the combination of eel and avocado was divine. The Temaki Sushi Platter added a unique touch to the experience. The Negitoro Temaki with chopped tuna belly and scallions was a delightful treat, and the Seared Beef Temaki was a true revelation. It's worth noting that Chef Jojo and the team were accommodating, providing an alternative for the Hamachi Nigiri due to supply shortages. Overall, I highly recommend Chef Jojo's sushi platters for any occasion. It's not just a meal; it's a memorable culinary journey that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.

Our chef Evy was brilliant from start to finish. Super professional and flexible...she was happy to time things when it suited us. The food was sensational....we had limited options due to various food allergies and dietary needs, but Evy came up with a magnificent menu that suited out needs. It was a fabulous meal...and best of all no washing up! I would highly recommend Evy for any home chef needs.

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.

Andrea and his team helped us create an amazing event, and our whole team were delighted with the drinks and the amazing services they provided. The cocktails were amazing but the service and the goof mood carried by Andreas and his team was the highlight of our event. Definitely looking forward to collaborating once again in the future

Coco and all the kiddies LOVED them - and it was so lovely to see even the most shy of her friends joining in and having fun

We had a wonderful experience with our private chef (Chef Fergus) tonight. The Mexican food was delicious and truly changed my perception of the cuisine. The portions were generous, and everyone left feeling full and satisfied. The chef was not only polite and nice but also showed a real passion for cooking. I appreciated how tidy and organized the kitchen was throughout the evening. It was great that the chef could tailor the dishes to accommodate our dietary preferences. With a cooking time of just under two hours, everything was prepared efficiently. The food was fresh, and the flavors were fantastic. Overall, my family and I had an enjoyable time together, thanks to the chef's efforts. Highly recommended!
