Floristry Masterclasses in London. Home or Office Fun

The community that gathers at these events is spectacular! There is such an energy in there of just acceptance, love, oneness and bonding and that is so conducive to any practice, it allows you to drop your guard, to relax into the moment and to experience the profound effects of breathwork.

Magic with No Kitchen We work in an office full of people who love food and have been to some of the nicest restaurants in the world, and Fergus came on our last Friday of work and completely transformed the office, turning it into a fine dining experience even though the only thing we had in the kitchenette there was a sink and dishwasher. He brought his own kitchen and crafted a beautiful 6-course tasting meal meeting many different dietary needs that left everyone just amazed. Truly don’t hesitate to book Fergus, it’s like booking your own personal Michelin star chef

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 chose Sarah Nagli to cook for us for my sister’s 60th birthday we chose canapés and a late lunch for 8 people. Sarah was really delightful to deal with during the run up to the date and on the day. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented - the attention to detail was excellent. Everything was also nice and tidy in the kitchen when she left, which was a real bonus, when you are entertaining. This was a special celebration and all my family were thrilled with the experience. I would definitely recommend Sarah, and would book her again. Jill Crafer

Seriously nice guy, delicious food, highly recommend!

Chef Lorenzo was fantastic! His dinner menu was both elaborate and tasty. Next level dining with a cool touch of a young chef.

Wow, what a wonderful experience. We’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of our business and, as part of a series of activities, we wanted to memorialise the anniversary day itself. Working with Hometainment we decided the best way to do this was to commission and artist to help us create a painting to celebrate who we are and what we do - word of mouth marketing. After lunch we returned to our office, which has been dressed and prepped by Hometainment. We were in the safe and amazing hands of artist Anton who guided us as we all painted pieces of a large canvas. He ensured that even those with very little artistic ability (myself) felt included and like an actual artist. We also recreated the company name as a series of smaller canvas, one for each letter. These now all adorn the entrance to the office, and our large canvas masterpiece hangs in the board room. An amazing experience, an amazing artist - thank you Anton - and a work of art to ensure we never forget. All brought together in a super-polished, hyper-efficient way by Hometainment. Thank you.

We loved this class - Makiko is very friendly and so knowledgable. We learned such a lot and can't wait to try out the recipes and techniques at home!

Antoine and his team came and rescued the big school BBQ when our other caterer cancel. He was amazing at working in our constraint budget and time frame. I was very impressed and will be using him again!

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!
