Why people use HOMETAINMENT
It was such a treat to have a meal at home with Chef Bahar to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The Persian inspired menu looked amazing and Bahar’s cooking and presentation was exquisite. Most of the dishes were new to us and it was wonderful to taste authentic Persian cuisine. We were so impressed with the whole experience from start to finish. The Hometainment team were quick to respond to my enquiry, which was rather last minute, and help chose a menu and chef to best suit our request of vegetarian menu and budget.
Mimi was such a pleasure to have with us on holiday in France. She had an almost impossible task to cater for thirty-two very demanding people throughout the course of a week. Not only is she an immense amount fun to be around, but she produced some of the most delicious food I have ever tasted. She designed, planned and executed an amazing menu which everyone loved. I could not recommend her more!
The most magical experience! This was the best meal I have ever eaten! My friends and I always love tasting menus and we visit often - this was next level! The food was immaculately presented and equivalently done perfectly to any Michelin star restaurant! The food was generous - genuinely incredible value for money! Caroline & Guilherme we’re also able to perfectly recommend wine pairing to elevate the experience! Caroline & Guilherme we’re incredibly warm and it felt like having friends cook in our Home! We can’t wait for the next one! Thanks so much!
Highly recommended. Exceptional food delivered on time, freshly prepared and with a smile! Guests at a corporate event were very pleased and wanted more!

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!
