Hire Bartenders For Home & Office Parties in London

A delicious Spanish-themed feast for 17 people! What a talent! Charles designed, prepared and delivered a wonderful menu for us for my daughter's birthday. He was able to accommodate dietary requirements with ease (which was amazing for me). On top of producing a really delicious meal he was quick to reply to messages, send menu ideas and keep me updated on the evening. He also (equally important to me) kept the kitchen clean and tidy! Charles is incredibly easy to deal with and I would recommend him without hesitation.

So you want to host a chef-catered dinner party in London. I did, for my 50th birthday, and it came off absolutely brilliantly thanks to Chef Charlotte. Here's some advice: 1. Obviously, rent the AirBNB/event space with the largest dining area. This will likely not be big enough, however, and you probably won't have enough place settings, silverware, wineglasses, etc. We only realized this in a call with Chef Charlotte, who recommended an event hire company from whom we rented an extra table, linens, wine glasses, etc. 2. Tell the AirBNB owner what you're doing before you reserve: I didn't really, and for the week leading up to the event was pretty stressed out that the owner would object or worse, send over the police! 3. Use HOMETAINMENT. Antoine Melon, the founder, is dedicated to making your event a success and will likely reach out to you personally--exactly the touch that will make the difference. Thanks Antoine! 4. You will probably end up working with the first chef who responds to your inquiry--in our case, fortuitously, Chef Charlotte. And you'll probably be fine with any of the HOMETAINMENT Chefs they're all professionals, after all. However, I would recommend that you at least wait to hear from Chef Charlotte, who I would wholeheartedly recommend. 5. Keep things (relatively) simple. While I'm sure she can cook anything, Chef Charlotte recommends a menu that she has likely cooked a hundred times and can probably do in her sleep. She adapted it to accommodate our dietary needs (some vegans, garlic intolerance) and added a personal favorite of mine, a cold spring veggie soup which was amazing. 6. An assistant chef/server is important, and I'd make sure that your chef will have one (Charlotte will). 7. And ultimately, relax and have a great time! Chef Charlotte is a total professional, great to work with, and most of all, cooked us an unforgettable meal: Passed canapés: Roasted aubergine with tomato and black olive tapenade Salmon gravlax, toasted rye, mustard and dill sauce Dorset crab tartlets First course: Spring vegetable soup, gremolata Second course: Ravioli of new season English green and white asparagus Main course: Herb crusted rack of Cotswold lamb, spring vegetables, potato gratin, lamb jus, served with risotto of spring vegetables, basil pesto, pine nut crumb Dessert: Apple tart tatin, home made vanilla ice cream Bon appetit!

This home dinner was incredibly delicious and uniquely crafted. I would gladly recommend Your catering service!

One of the most innovative and interesting businesses you will ever come across. Superb, polished service, managed by industry professionals. Great at everything they do.

Jacob came straight back to us with a delicious selection of menus. We agreed on food, price and timings very easily and with no hassle. Jacob arrived 2 hours before our guests to get set up in our kitchen. He was professional, courteous and fun! And presented an amazing selection of beautifully presented canapes followed by seared tuna starters, fillet beef based main and refreshing posset. Jacob washed up and left us to enjoy the rest of our evening. It was effortless for me and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Thank you Jacob!

Fergus was great! I booked a 6 course dinner for 6 guests with Fergus and could not have been more pleased! Communication was great from the start and he was so helpful in accommodating everyone’s dietary restrictions. The food was delicious, presentation was perfect and service was excellent all around- everyone truly enjoyed it. It was a lovely experience! I would highly recommend choosing Fergus for any event.

Incredible experience for our corporate team. Thank you, highly recommend.

We asked Jacob to do some canapés for our small wedding reception and we were so impressed. Everything was so delicious and our guests were singing his praises later! The food was exquisite and Jacob was so friendly and professional. If we ever need a private chef we will definitely ask Jacob again. We might just make up an excuse to have him cook for us again otherwise!

Sarah’s food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully! Everyone loved the family style sharing plates which were all very generously portioned. Sarah was super communicative in the run up to the event and kindly printed out menus for me to set on the table. Her husband was also great fun and ensured everything went smoothly on the evening! The kitchen was also left immaculately- thanks SO much!! I would recommend Sarah to anyone :)

Fergus created a wonderful experience for us. A weekend away with the family to celebrate my Father's 70th birthday, we booked this as a treat. New to hiring a chef we didn't know what to expect. Fergus made the process, simple and fun. To choosing the menu, to the little surprises he planned for us, made it seamless. On the day Fergus was prepared, worked efficiently in the background in the shared kitchen space and his presences was a lovely addition do our dinner. His food was amazing from the lobster tail, to the Jalapeno palette cleanser, to the duck breast mains everything was amazing and had as anticipating each course. Would def do again! Cannot recommend enough and a genuinely nice guy.
