Calligraphy Masterclasses for Home & Office events in London

This was my second time using Hometainment. We had previously used a chef but this time a bar tender for a party. Wonderful! The perfect balance of professional and personable with a striking set of skills! Would highly recommend

It was wonderful to have Sarah cook for my husband’s very special big birthday dinner for ten people. She helped me plan the menu - for canapes, mains and dessert - and arrived on the day of the dinner in advance amd fully prepared. The food was delicious and the service of the dishes was impeccable - all of my guests are still raving about it. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to have a wonderful dinner at home with professional service and fantastic food.

Jacob did a great job and made us feel important from the first communication, which some other chefs hadn't when we were speaking with them. He was responsive and gave good ideas and suggestions when we spoke, allowing us to make the decisions quickly. He was also flexible when numbers etc changed nearer to the event, Helping find a server for the day meant we had a lunch that felt extra special and everyone loved the food - with generous portions and good quality food. The lobster risotto was an amazing start to the meal and really set the scene for what followed. The kitchen was left clean and tidy and the day was a joy.

Derrick ran the bar at our housewarming party. He was professional and courteous. The cocktails were great. Everyone enjoyed the drinks and were very complimentary of Derrick and his colleague. I would highly recommend having Derrick as your mixologist.

I don’t know where to start. The whole experience was superb! The guests really enjoyed popping in and out of the kitchen watching Jacob prep the meals. He didn’t mind people asking things and we all really enjoyed his company. Soft shell crab - to die for! The masala sauce was on point and the presentation was impeccable. Jacob realised we had chosen similar sauces for our starters and mains and he used his intuition to change a few things with the mains which was delicious. Dessert - The Rum soaked sticky toffee pudding was not too sweet, had the right consistency and we all whacked it ( despite being so full from the starters and mains). It was so nice to experience a family recipe. Jacob, your grandma must be so proud!

Thank you for generously sharing your gift with us all! And thank you hosting a wonderful workshop.

It was a real joy to have Sarah cooking for our dinner. She was a pleasure to work with coming up with a menu. She made a great suggestion and then took my comments on board very willingly as we came to a menu that I was happy with. One of my guests had specific dietary requirements and Sarah took great care to cater for her separately which allowed me not to worry about it. All our guests commented on the quality of the food and the kitchen was left spotless at the end of the evening. Sarah was also charming with our children and very tolerant of our naughty dog!

We recently used Evy's Menu private chef service for a private in-home celebration. We had 4 adults and 4 children, and we chose the 3 course dinner with a full package of cooking, serving and clearing which was brilliant! We had delicious cured salmon and aubergine bouchées and a lovely cocktail as an aperitif; lobster with roasted cauliflower to start; then mushroom chicken wrapped in Parma ham with seasonal vegetables; and to finish we had 2 different desserts to choose from, the meringue, pecan and dates pudding as well as the pistachio and raspberries tart. Every dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the chicken was moist and the desserts were to die for. All in all, a delight for our French picky palates! Thank you Evy!

Andreas bartended for my 33rd birthday at home. All my guests sent me messages afterwards to specifically say how wonderful Andreas was. He didn't just stand behind the bar waiting for guest to come to him. He was constantly circulating to ask if anyone would like a drink, cleaning up as he went, finding guests when they wondered off with their drinks. His car broke down on the way to me, and managed to secure a van, load it up and still make it to me more or less on time. The whole set up was still on time for guests regardless of his car issues on the day. I cannot reccomend Olive & Pineapple more, I will definitely using them again. Andreas helped to get the cocktail menu together beforehand, and the drinks were made with good quality ingredients... And were strong! Haha. Beyond 5 star service!

We enjoyed a wonderful Ascot picnic made by Chef Rachael who was a joy to deal with and whose sandwiches were spectacular
