Chef Jojo's Cantonese dinner was an authentic and heartwarming experience. A balanced feast of contrasting flavors and textures, perfect for sharing with loved ones. A culinary journey not to be missed!
Our Chef Dan cooked a fantastic Thai meal for our family get together. Top notch food for 18 people
Chef Theo created the most stunning grazing table for our garden party. It became the centrepiece of the entire event and our guests could not stop talking about it. Everything looked elegant, tasted amazing, and was thoughtfully presented with incredible attention to detail. The canapés were outstanding and the setup made the whole event feel effortless.
Amazing evening thanks to Chef Jessie. Her cooking is fresh and fabulous, beautifully presented, and it was fun to learn more about CBD oils. Last but not least she has a shining personality. I will be sure to hire her again.

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 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!
Booking process v easy and liason with Chef Harri v easy as well sand food and service on the night was top class! Couldnt have been better!
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.
