Plant-Based Private Chefs London. Hire Chefs at Home

Evy is incredible !! Thrilled to have found Evy!

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!

Jacob's communication was one of the reasons I decided on him. Additionally, he's reasonably priced and his menu showed thought and generosity to client. He was briefed to be authentically himself, for a fun Executive Leadership (household name) informal BBQ and he did this so well, he was very much part of the evening team of 3 in total supporting. Food was great and a huge hard worker too.

We had Elliott do cater our wedding in December and it was absolutely incredible. Our guests are still talking about it now!! And it’s worth saying that the veggies and vegans rave about the jack fruit chilli just as much as the meat eaters! Amazing food, amazing service. Incredible. Thank you so much !”

My guests loved the cocktails. The mixologist was very attentive and made sure nobody was without a drink! It really brought a special touch to the day. Highly recommended

Delicious 5 star dining at home! From the get-go, Layla was a super fast to respond and answer any questions we had. On the night, everyone was super impressed with the quality of the food and the professional service. The pomegranate & rose water sorbet was a real highlight and finished the dinner off perfectly!

We booked Charlotte’s Bespoke Catering for our rehearsal dinner at Ardington House for 16 guests in September. Charlotte was so helpful, suggesting a variety of options for the meal and we found one that suited all our guests. The food was delicious. The food was raved about by all our guests all evening and the next day! Especially the starter and canapés! The portion sizes were generous but not overwhelming, service of food awas fantastic, the whole experience was really great value for money. We found the kitchen cleaner than when we gave it to her! 10/10 recommend time and time again!

We had Jacob cater for our 30th birthday party and he seemingly produced this fantastic food out of thin air and left the kitchen spotless! Would fully recommend.

Chef Nanda was warm, flexible, and able to cater to all of our needs to make our evening very special! The food was delicious and exceeded any expectations! Thank you so much!

Jacob is amazing - I'm so glad i found him for the dinner party I organized. We will definitely be using him again!
