The menu selection, preparation and presentation were all conducted to perfection. He certainly brought Michelin standards right into our home and our guests really appreciated it. We will certainly recommend Chef Michael's services to others and use his again, as and when the occasion arises. > > — Frederick, 5/5 > 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! > > — Kam, 5/5 > 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. > > — Nicho, 5/5 ## More from Chef Michael - [Vegan 3 course](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/vegan-3-course?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £80.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/vegan-3-course.md)) - [French Culinary Journey - Classic Dinner Party Experience](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/french-culinary-journey-classic-dinner?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £90.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/french-culinary-journey-classic-dinner.md)) - [English & Italian Buffet Dining by Private Chef Michael](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/bowls-food?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £60.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/bowls-food.md)) - [Christmas Eve Party - Finger & Bowl Food by Chef Michael](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/party-finger-food-and-bowls?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £80.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/party-finger-food-and-bowls.md)) - [Christmas Choice for Delivery by Chef Michael](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/christmas-delivery?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £95.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/christmas-delivery.md)) - [The Ultimate Family Sunday Roast, Cooked by Your Chef](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/family-sunday-lunch?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £70.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/family-sunday-lunch.md)) - [Christmas Day Lunch Menu by Private Chef Michael](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/french-canapes-and-bowl-food?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £150.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/french-canapes-and-bowl-food.md)) - [European Culinary Journey – Classic Dinner Party at Home](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/french-culinary-journey?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £120.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/french-culinary-journey.md)) ## Similar Private Chefs experiences - [Vegan Haute Cuisine Dinner - Gourmet Dining Experience](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/haute-cuisine-vegan-dinner?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £140.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/haute-cuisine-vegan-dinner.md)) - [Sushi & Sashimi Bar by Chef Marco A – Asian bites & bowls](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/sushi-sashimi-asian-bar?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £95.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/sushi-sashimi-asian-bar.md)) - [Cheese & Wine Pairing at Home with Sommelier Fleur](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/cheese-and-wine-pairing?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £90.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/cheese-and-wine-pairing.md)) - [Global BBQ Experience with Smoked Meats by Chef Elliott](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/ultimate-grilling-service?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £70.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/ultimate-grilling-service.md)) - [Freshly Shucked Oyster Experience by Dominique at Home](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/oyster-experience-freshly-shucked-oysters?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £18.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/oyster-experience-freshly-shucked-oysters.md)) - [Luxury Canapés for 150 – Exclusive Catering Service](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/luxury-seasonal-canapes?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £465.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/luxury-seasonal-canapes.md)) - [Chai & Bites Pop-Up by Private Chef Aida](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/flavors-of-karachi-feast?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown) — from £15.00 per guest ([markdown](https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/flavors-of-karachi-feast.md)) ## How to book Book or request a quote on the experience page: https://www.hometainment.com/uk/app/experience/bowls-and-finger-food?utm_source=ai-agent&utm_medium=markdown
