Latin menus, from Mexican to Peruvian, add spice-forward plates and ceviches. If wellness is the brief, explore Vegan, Vegetarian and Healthy menus built around seasonal produce without compromising taste. Entertaining a crowd or hosting standing receptions?

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!
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!
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.
The meal was absolutely delicious - top notch, beautiful presentation and chef Christian is very talented. All our guests throughly enjoyed the experience and I’d definitely recommend Hometainment and chef Christian.

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!
Our Chef Dan cooked a fantastic Thai meal for our family get together. Top notch food for 18 people
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!
I had Miss Mimi cater a Chinese New Year party for 80 people at my home. She did everything from plan the menu, organise the serving dishes to keep on the theme, prep, cook and left my kitchen spotless. And the food was out of this world. She staggered it so it was all hot and fresh and kept a constant mix of dishes she sent out. She did so much research to come up with a wide range of substantial hors d’oeuvres that ranged from vegetarian to quite filling meat dishes. She even went as far as to get the right color orchids to decorate the dishes as well. Nothing was left to chance and she was meticulous about her process. I can’t wait to use her again!
