Why people use HOMETAINMENT
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!
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!
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!
Chef Fergus cooked us an amazing steak dinner for my husband's birthday and it was super tender and delicious! The maple and pecan sticky toffee pudding was the sweetest bonus to finish off a memorable experience. I highly recommend Chef Fergus.

We enjoyed a wonderful Ascot picnic made by Chef Rachael who was a joy to deal with and whose sandwiches were spectacular
Chef Edward was the perfect addition to my private party at home. His culinary skills are unparalleled, and he created a menu that exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients were outstanding. I would highly recommend Chef Edward for any event or occasion. Thank you for making our evening so special!
I highly recommend and will certainly return for future occasions. HOMEtainment came through for me not only during the hectic Christmas season, providing last-minute catering for my clients, but also for special milestone birthday gatherings with my family. Their service consistently maintained a top-notch 5-star quality, no matter the recipient. Their team is both helpful and friendly, matching us with fantastic chefs perfectly suited to our specific needs. I cannot emphasize enough how much I recommend them and how certain I am that I will use their services again.
I booked Chef Michael on Saturday night - though Hometainment - for a dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was SUPERB! He arrived on time, was well organised and charming and delivered the most fabulous meal. He also bought his wife Esra to waitress along side him, who was equally charming and did a fantastic job of looking after everyone. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
