Why people use HOMETAINMENT
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
We had Elliott do cater our wedding in December and it was absolutely incredible. Our guests are still talking about it now!! And it’s worth saying that the veggies and vegans rave about the jack fruit chilli just as much as the meat eaters! Amazing food, amazing service. Incredible. Thank you so much !”
I was provided with a chef for a lunch at home. This was a great success with delicious food and we all had a truly enjoyable lunch and afternoon without any of the stress involved in preparing food while hosting!
Having asked Mimi to cook and prepare my post solo show supper party I felt completely relaxed and trusted her expert choices and decisions in what we might like to eat. We all appeared from the gallery to a feast of food... it was beautifully presented and completely delicious. Her unusual salads, cottage pie and mouth watering brownies vanished. Her professionalism, style and attention to detail was exceptional and Mimi was always there with a smile.

From the first interaction to the last engaging with Jessie was a pleasurable experience. What impressed me the most was how personable Jessie is also her process of customising the menu to our liking. The food was delicious (and educational ;-)), my guests and I loved how well the CBD oils were paired with the courses. I highly recommend Jessie and would definitely hire her again.
Chef Mickael was awesome. Unbelievable food - both taste and presentation, great creativity and super friendly on top of that. Will definitely book him again!
Where do I begin the praises for Omar? I came to him asking if he could incorporate my Lithuanian and my partner's Welsh heritage into the wedding dinner. Omar came back to me shortly after doing lengthy research and making the best, one of a kind, incredible menu for us. On the day the team was so lovely, meal was incredible, we cannot stop talking how amazing it was. I cannot recommend Omar enough, he is such talented chef with true passion for food!
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you all for the immense teamwork and collaboration on Kristina & Nick's wedding day, It all ran like absolute clockwork, and you were all so wonderful to work with. I think it's safe to say they had the best weekend of their life which is what we are all aiming for!
