Teighe's spirit journey was a delightful adventure! He curated an exceptional experience, and the flat rate made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for spirit enthusiasts! 🥃🍹🍸

Mack was BRILLIANT and I wouldn't hesitate to book him again. I highly recommend him. He was very responsive and communicative to deal with from the minute we booked. He was punctual and reliable. He played amazing music, which really added to the party atmosphere at our house. He's also a really friendly, lovely guy and all the guests loved him. We will definitely be booking him again.

This was a first for our family when hiring a large house for a 60th/70th and Jacob was great from the initial contact through to menu choice, flexibility and was very reassuring as the date approached. He arrived on time and was discreet, positive and down to earth and a joy to have around. His service support lady was equally charming and everyone was really impressed with the quality of food, presentation and quantity. Would highly recommend if you want a quality stress free dinner party. We had 24 people in the end with some last minute changes, which he graciously accommodated. Excellent all round! Would definitely hire again. Plus great value for money!

Due to a change in plans we made the booking 4 hours before our company event, and Hometainment's support team along with Mattia were exceptionally speedy and professional. Mattia took control of our bar, and immediately suggested cocktails and contributed well to the vibe of our party. Mattia's mixing style was sharp and impeccable, and he stayed on for an additional 30min to help serve drinks for our evening to go on. A huge thank you from us!

Listened to my requirements and excelled in the cocktails he made. Would use again for sure. 11 out of 10

Fergus was a SUPERSTAR Fergus was incredible from start to finish, communication, menu planning, his team who came along with him and his food is not only delicious but is beautifully presented. Every aspect was flawless, I would highly recommend and will book him as much as I can! Thank you Fergus!!!

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.

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!

We used Andrea and the Olive & Pineapple team to run the event for our company party. Everything was seamless but most of all they made it fun! 300 guests with bespoke drinks menus, cocktails and plenty of communication before the event to ensure all bases were covered. It was a City Pub Company staff party so all hospitality staff who were really impressed from start to finish. Top work and excellent service!
