Make it personal by exploring private chef styles popular in Oxfordshire. For special occasions, Fine Dining offers seasonal tasting menus with elegant plating and wine-friendly courses. French and Italian remain timeless, while Mediterranean menus bring vibrant salads, grills and seafood. For relaxed gatherings, BBQ and Grazing options deliver abundant sharing platters, ideal for garden parties and office socials. Craving bold flavours? Choose Japanese, Pan-Asian, Chinese, Thai or Indian with sushi, dumplings, curries and wok-fried dishes prepared fresh in your kitchen. 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? Canapés & Bowl Food keep service flowing and conversation easy. Our chefs tailor menus for corporate events, anniversaries or intimate date nights-always accommodating allergies and dietary needs. Every style includes ingredients, service and clean-up, so you enjoy the restaurant experience without leaving home. Not sure which subcategory fits? Share your theme, budget and kitchen setup, and HOMETAINMENT will recommend the best chef and menu for a seamless night.
Great service Great service. Mags managed to find me a chef at a reasonable cost. Chef Raul did well entertaining our guests.
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.
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!
The perfect evening thanks to the amazing chefs and team at Hometainment👏👏👏👏 Chef Marco’s sushi bar and canapés were simply delicious and the experience seamless!! We loved it!

We had Elliott do cater our wedding in December and it was absolutely incredible. Our guests are still talking about it now!! And it’s worth saying that the veggies and vegans rave about the jack fruit chilli just as much as the meat eaters! Amazing food, amazing service. Incredible. Thank you so much !”
Where do I begin the praises for Omar? I came to him asking if he could incorporate my Lithuanian and my partner's Welsh heritage into the wedding dinner. Omar came back to me shortly after doing lengthy research and making the best, one of a kind, incredible menu for us. On the day the team was so lovely, meal was incredible, we cannot stop talking how amazing it was. I cannot recommend Omar enough, he is such talented chef with true passion for food!
