Jacob was great! We easily agreed regarding the menu and any adjustments we needed were fulfilled. Dinner was super delicious and presentation was awesome!

Chef Lorenzo was fantastic! His dinner menu was both elaborate and tasty. Next level dining with a cool touch of a young chef.

I'm always wary of the authenticity of the taste whenever it's said to be Indian or Pakistani. The food here definitely passes the test with flying colours. Aida's palak paneer is absolutely lovely and fluffy and creamy. The okra fries are also very addictive. The best part is the plate they serve with rice & absolutely fresh salad. Totally worth it.

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!

Sarah’s food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully! Everyone loved the family style sharing plates which were all very generously portioned. Sarah was super communicative in the run up to the event and kindly printed out menus for me to set on the table. Her husband was also great fun and ensured everything went smoothly on the evening! The kitchen was also left immaculately- thanks SO much!! I would recommend Sarah to anyone :)

They were BRILLIANT. The cake was BRILLIANT. IT WAS ALL BRILLIANT!!!!!

Hired excellent helpers, all very efficient. Great experience. Thank you

Andrea was absolutely brilliant! Amazing drinks, very personable and lovely but super professional at the same time! Could not reccomend more!

Thank you for the lovely session. It was truly meditative and going inwards. It was amazing that we all had the same grid and design to make, but each’s finished mandala was different- reflective of each’s personality. Loved the experience of beyond lines experience. Thoroughly enjoyed!

I recently experienced Andrea's cocktail-making masterclass for our work summer social, and it was an absolute blast! Andrea was fun, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable. The drinks we crafted were stunning and delicious. The intimate setting made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a fun and unique event! Cheers! 🥂
