Christmas Office Parties London. Festive Entertainment

We had Derrick as the bar manager for my CEO's fabulous party. Derrick was brilliantly attentive, kind, sociable and in-tune with all requests on the night. 100% recommend him and I hope Hometainment keeps him!

Thank you to Hometainment for creating the most INCREDIBLE Matcha Bar for the Break Archive Pop-Up Shop. The professionalism from the team was amazing as well as the delicious matchas they made. They created us special menus using 'shaken matcha' to combine the idea of a cafe and a bar. We had queues all down the road for the matcha as word got on the street about how good they were (especially the strawberry) meaning our shop got great attraction! Can't recommend them enough!! Thanks to the lovely team for making everyone so happy and a HUGE thank you to Otto for making this process so easy and efficient - we couldn’t have done it without him. I look forward to booking again :)

Maximilian was booked for our Uber Boats by Thames clippers xmas party. The performance was amazing. Everyone was very engaged with Maximilian's magic. Thank you for entertaining us during our welcome drinks.

We engaged Chef Stefano to cook a multi-course Christmas Banquet for our family of eight in London in December 2024. For context: we are a multi-generational family, all gourmands, (at one point I was an anonymous restaurant reviewer) with varying preferences in terms of cuisine but thankfully the common ground of the flavours of the Mediterranean, which was the brief we provided Chef Stefano. To say Chef Stefano surpassed our expectations is an understatement. Ten months later and I am still dreaming of the symphony of starters that was a beetroot gravlax with salmon, marinated sea bass that showcased the fish with a vibrant citrus and dill dressing and finally beef Carpaccio that was simplicity rendered decadent. Yes, it was thinly sliced beef and there were parmesan shavings, however, the truffle and mustard condiment was nothing short of ambrosial. The write-an-essay-about-it chicken liver pate fashioned into Christmas tree forms (the children in our number loved that touch) was smooth, rich, suitably boozy with the marsala wine and intense in flavour. And because portions were generous, it was a welcome addition to the breakfast table the following morning! For our main course we opted for Porchetta and baked salmon topped with pomegranates. The medley of sides ranged from perfectly executed classics such as roasted parsnips and carrots (which Chef Stefano made festive with the addition of a maple syrup dressing), lentils baked in a pumpkin gourd and a raw broccoli salad with pine nuts and baby spinach leaves that was a refreshing counterpoint to our other choices. Our puddings of Monte Bianco and Tiramisu were the kind of conclusion of dreams::meringue pavlova, chestnut cream, chantilly and chocolate on one hand, and layers of coffee soaked biscuits with the optimal ratio of mascarpone and chocolate on the other. Chef Stefano also prepared a lasagne for the children as an additional dish - a thoughtful inclusion in case they were picky eaters - but devoured by us all with alacrity. The effusiveness of this review is also due to Chef Stefano's professionalism. He arrived on time, plated everything beautifully and created a culinary experience that my family and I will cherish for many years to come.

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

Thank you Sharky and George for the best party, Harry loved it! Don't know where Max and John found the energy! Next year survival!!!!

5 stars!

Layla went above and beyond to make it special Layla was very professional and on time. She cooked the dinner to perfection and made sure she left the kitchen spotless. Everyone loved the food!

I had Miss Mimi cater a Chinese New Year party for 80 people at my home. She did everything from plan the menu, organise the serving dishes to keep on the theme, prep, cook and left my kitchen spotless. And the food was out of this world. She staggered it so it was all hot and fresh and kept a constant mix of dishes she sent out. She did so much research to come up with a wide range of substantial hors d’oeuvres that ranged from vegetarian to quite filling meat dishes. She even went as far as to get the right color orchids to decorate the dishes as well. Nothing was left to chance and she was meticulous about her process. I can’t wait to use her again!

HOMETAINMENT made everything effortless and exceptional. Fantastic service and a brilliant experience from start to finish.
