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.
Our Chef Dan cooked a fantastic Thai meal for our family get together. Top notch food for 18 people
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!
Great service Great service. Mags managed to find me a chef at a reasonable cost. Chef Raul did well entertaining our guests.

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
What a fabulous time we had! Jessie was professional, engaging and passionate, and delivered a fantastic 4 course meal for myself and 5 friends. The food prepared was simply exquisite and her genuine and naturally hospitable personality kept the evening easy but fun and very enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend this experience more or the feeling that the delicious food (and the cbd 😉) and Jessie gave us! Well done Jessie and thank you!!
5 star service from the team. We put on 5 events and the Hometainment team delivered all aspects perfectly . Will definitely use them for our next events. Thank you
