We had Elliott and his fabulous team cater my husbands 50th birthday last week. The food was absolutely outstanding and we had the best comments from all our guests. Elliott and his team are also so lovely to deal with and we cannot wait to use his services again. Highly recommend loved it so thank you
I'm always wary of the authenticity of the taste whenever it's said to be Indian or Pakistani. The food here definitely passes the test with flying colours. Aida's palak paneer is absolutely lovely and fluffy and creamy. The okra fries are also very addictive. The best part is the plate they serve with rice & absolutely fresh salad. Totally worth it.
Marco was excellent in providing a fantastic experience for us. He was very flexible with booking and was great at providing a tailored experience for us.
Fantastic! From the team members @ Hometainment who were able to cater to the requirements of a corporate event we hosted in our gallery. The Chef Anna and her waiting team were great to work with, the food was fantastic! Thank you for helping to curate a wonderful experience! :)

Hometainment is absolutely brilliant when helping plan events! Excellent ideas, fast responses and a wonderful team. Would highly recommend!
What a fabulous time we had! Jessie was professional, engaging and passionate, and delivered a fantastic 4 course meal for myself and 5 friends. The food prepared was simply exquisite and her genuine and naturally hospitable personality kept the evening easy but fun and very enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend this experience more or the feeling that the delicious food (and the cbd 😉) and Jessie gave us! Well done Jessie and thank you!!
Highly recommended. Exceptional food delivered on time, freshly prepared and with a smile! Guests at a corporate event were very pleased and wanted more!
We thoroughly enjoyed our wine discovery experience with Fleur. Not only were the wines were delicious, but Fleur helped us understand exactly what we liked about each wine. From tasting notes to advice on food pairings, Fleur broke down the complex world of wine into a very engaging, digestible course, and we left feeling much more confident about our personal tastes and how to navigate a wine list!
