Great service Great service. Mags managed to find me a chef at a reasonable cost. Chef Raul did well entertaining our guests.
Thank you Antoine@Hometainment for an incredibly professional service you recently provided assigning Chef Michael and Prince who brilliantly executed the English and Italian buffet experience. Chef came fully prepared ensuring everything was on time with enough food and loads leftover. Overall, an amazing evening with good food and company. No doubt I will be back!
An exceptional depiction, with a keen eye for detail and impeccable cleanliness. The food was simply amazing, and we had such generous portions that we happily savored the leftovers the next day. When you book a dining experience with Chef Michael, you'll be treated to a full and delightful meal of incredibly fresh and delicious dishes. Chef Michael's culinary skills are nothing short of extraordinary.
We were very fortunate to have Mimi cater our wedding. From the get-go Mimi was super engaged, flexible and approachable. When it came to the actual weekend Mimi was a force of good-natured efficiency. She kept us aware of any issues that need our input but without adding to the inevitable last-minute wedding stress. She was even up at 4 AM checking on the slow cooking lamb! On the day it was all better than we could have hoped for. Everything was utterly delicious, but also and importantly for us not the standard wedding fare (apart from honey mustard sausages obvs). The Asian pork belly was a particular favourite canape of mine as was the tuna tartare. The lamb for the main was honestly the best I have had, and I know several typically non lamb-eating friends had to do some soul searching afterwards. I would recommend Mimi to anyone for whom food is a priority. She provides something a bit different (and in my experience better) that most catering companies, helping to create an atmosphere that will feel uniquely yours

Our Chef Dan cooked a fantastic Thai meal for our family get together. Top notch food for 18 people
We had a wonderful experience with our private chef (Chef Fergus) tonight. The Mexican food was delicious and truly changed my perception of the cuisine. The portions were generous, and everyone left feeling full and satisfied. The chef was not only polite and nice but also showed a real passion for cooking. I appreciated how tidy and organized the kitchen was throughout the evening. It was great that the chef could tailor the dishes to accommodate our dietary preferences. With a cooking time of just under two hours, everything was prepared efficiently. The food was fresh, and the flavors were fantastic. Overall, my family and I had an enjoyable time together, thanks to the chef's efforts. Highly recommended!
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.
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!
