Wellbeing Experiences in London. Home or Office Events

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!

I have suffered of muscle pain and lack of energy for years now, so was very keen to try Reiki. Diana was amazing, very attentive and professional. My health issues started to get better, I'm really grateful.

It was great! I'm looking forward to trying out the suggestions from Fleur. And also the pairings with cheeses was so good! I'm glad I attended!

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, Antoine, chef Tom and service team of Ben without forgetting DJ Jorge for making my home party perfect🙏🏻

Evy is incredible !! Thrilled to have found Evy!

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.

Sarah made organising a hen do one of the easiest events to organise. Sarah was responsive and very quickly suggested a menu, responding to what I had asked for perfectly. Sarah’s food was absolutely amazing, we all ate so much despite being very full! Sarah left the kitchen clean and tidy within tidying up for us to do afterwards.

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!
