Why people use HOMETAINMENT
Mickael is an exemplary chef and a perfectionist in all that he does. His passion for his work never ceases to amaze.
Chef Jacob did an outstanding job. He is brilliant at communicating and I requested all vegan dinner. We discussed my expectations, preferences etc and he sent a menu proposal from which I selected my choices. He delivered stunning food that wowed the crowd. He is talented and extremely personable, so a real asset to your portfolio.
We enjoyed a wonderful Ascot picnic made by Chef Rachael who was a joy to deal with and whose sandwiches were spectacular
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.

Hometainment orchestrated our family Christmas gathering, which consisted of eight people. They treated us to a delectable feast, featuring scrumptious turkey and salmon accompanied by all the traditional trimmings. The evening commenced with a delightful selection of canapés, and we concluded with a mouthwatering dessert that left our stomachs in a state of blissful satisfaction. The icing on the cake was the fact that Hometainment took care of the washing and cleaning up afterward, making it an even more enjoyable experience for us. Thanks to their exceptional service, my husband and I were able to enjoy our first truly relaxing family Christmas celebration. We are immensely grateful!
This has truly been the most exceptional entertainment experience I've ever had the pleasure of booking! I arranged a Cognac tasting and a Rum tasting for my husband's birthday, and every aspect of the experience, from the initial booking to the presence of our skilled bartender, David, exceeded our expectations. David not only delivered the finest drinks but also shared his profound knowledge of the beverages, leaving us thoroughly impressed. We also opted for the chef experience, which was nothing short of spectacular. The food was exquisite, and the overall experience felt truly luxurious. Throughout the entire process, Antoine, who assisted us via the website, was exceptionally helpful. He responded promptly to every message and accommodated all our requests with grace. I wholeheartedly recommend this service for any event, and without a doubt, I will be booking the chef and expert bartender services again in the future!
Chef Mickael was awesome. Unbelievable food - both taste and presentation, great creativity and super friendly on top of that. Will definitely book him again!
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! :)
