Make it personal by exploring private chef styles popular in Sussex. 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.
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
Mimi was such a pleasure to have with us on holiday in France. She had an almost impossible task to cater for thirty-two very demanding people throughout the course of a week. Not only is she an immense amount fun to be around, but she produced some of the most delicious food I have ever tasted. She designed, planned and executed an amazing menu which everyone loved. I could not recommend her more!
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!
It was such a pleasure having you with us. The Oyster Experience was fantastic and received great feedback from guests. The roaming style worked beautifully in the space, and it brought such a nice touch of theatre to the event.
