Premium At-Home Experiences in Somerset, UK

HOMETAINMENT provided us with saxophonist Mack for our summer soiree event. Mack was friendly and professional. Mack arrived on time with effortless set-up using own equipment. Mack played a variety of songs to suit the mood and was the highlight of our event! Thank you.

We were thrilled with our chef prepared team lunch. Food arrived in good time, all of the teams dietary requirements were catered for and the food was delicious. We are all looking forward to next week's lunch. Thank you Chef Greg and Hometainment.

I booked DJ Sasha for our work christmas party and she was the star of the show. She played great music, changing to fit as the night went on and her sax playing was incredible. It was a great surprise for guests and they are still talking about it days later. Thank you Otto for all your help organising and making it so easy to plan.

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.

Stefano stepped in at the very last minute after our chef had a family emergency, and he was absolutely outstanding. He prepared canapés on the first evening, followed by breakfast, lunch, and dinner over the next three days. The quality and quantity of the food he produced in such a short time was truly impressive. Stefano was exceptionally professional, adapted to a new kitchen with ease, and even went out of his way to show another chef around for a separate lunch booking after only one day on site. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without him. Our principals were delighted throughout, and we would highly recommend Stefano without hesitation.

À super experienced chef, Justin prepared a really original menu for us, with all dishes exquisite. He was flexible when it came to designing the menu, gave us a really interesting talk on foraging in the UK country side and designing his very own perfect knife. Last but not least he was punctual and left the kitchen in immaculate conditions. Another great recommendation from HOMEtainment!

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.

From the first interaction to the last engaging with Jessie was a pleasurable experience. What impressed me the most was how personable Jessie is also her process of customising the menu to our liking. The food was delicious (and educational ;-)), my guests and I loved how well the CBD oils were paired with the courses. I highly recommend Jessie and would definitely hire her again.

I have used Gonzalo and his team twice now for events and I could not recommend their services more! The team are super responsive in the lead up to an event answering my many queries regarding the additional items the client had requested. Their team are so friendly and professional in person and have great interaction with guests throughout the event duration. The results both printed and online were amazing and the client team and guests absolutely loved the bullet time photo booth - it truly added to their event! Gonzalo, looking forward to working with you and the team again soon. Thanks for everything!

We are very pleased with Chef Francois who was so flexible and managed to solve unexpected problems at last minute. The management was extremely professional and accommodating too. They made it very easy to book their service. They offer wine pairing as well. So glad we used them. The only let down was the waitress who came did not seem to be very experienced. Even though she seems like a very nice person, she had to be reminded to top up the glasses of wine before the glass go empty. Would definitely use them again.
