Office Catering Services in London. Delicious & Tailored

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.

An Outstanding Team, full of creative cocktails and a very Welcoming energy perfect for any party or event. I’d recommend them 100%

Loved using these guys to support me in my dinner party hosting for my birthday. They helped me find a great chef and mixologist which took all the chef off me. Highly recommend!!

We all had a fab time at the wine tasting and it was great to meet you Fleur! I thought it was very educational without being too much information and it was fun! The wine and cheese selections were also fab

Andrea and his team did an extraordinary job for us. The service was professional and the drinks were superb and the team were happy to stay well beyond the agreed time. So many of our guests commented on how great the bar team were. We would recommend without hesitation!

Hometainment orchestrated our family Christmas gathering, which consisted of eight people. They treated us to a delectable feast, featuring scrumptious turkey and salmon accompanied by all the traditional trimmings. The evening commenced with a delightful selection of canapés, and we concluded with a mouthwatering dessert that left our stomachs in a state of blissful satisfaction. The icing on the cake was the fact that Hometainment took care of the washing and cleaning up afterward, making it an even more enjoyable experience for us. Thanks to their exceptional service, my husband and I were able to enjoy our first truly relaxing family Christmas celebration. We are immensely grateful!

Hometainment is a great service and couldn't recommend more highly! they are pros!!!

Andrea and his team were absolutely first class. They arrived in good time to get set up and ready for the first guests. Nothing was too much trouble! The cocktails and service he provided was excellent, and all the guests commented about the wonderful experience. I can't recommend Olive & Pineapple highly enough. I want to have another party........ Just to invite them back!

I can thank Antoine and especially Chef Lara for making the Halloween event we held so amazing. Lara got 100% what i wanted and understood exactly the look and feel of the meal we wanted. Unlike other chefs who wanted to dissuade me from my ideas, Lara took them on with enthusiasm and energy. Without her amazing food and excellent team, the night would not have been as much of a success. I will 100% use Hometainment and Chef Lara again. It was a pleasure to work with them and took a huge amount of stress out of the whole event knowing that they were there looking after things. Thank you Antoine and Lara.

Chef Michael and his wife did an outstanding job in providing the exquisite food for our wedding reception. The menu selection, preparation and presentation were all conducted to perfection. He certainly brought Michelin standards right into our home and our guests really appreciated it. We will certainly recommend Chef Michael's services to others and use his again, as and when the occasion arises.
