Simple perfection! Tevin added the perfect vibe and engagement to our modest event. It felt personal, new and stimulating and our members are still raving about it. He provides a unique experience and I would absolutely book his services again.

I booked Chef Stefano for my wife’s birthday dinner and couldn’t recommend him more highly. The food was absolutely delicious, and he managed multiple dietary requirements effortlessly - even accommodating extra requests on the spot. Most impressively, he came in, took full control of the kitchen, needed no help at all, and left everything spotless. Exceptionally professional and talented.

I am very happy with the experience. The chef and mixologist I booked for my birthday party were excellent. The canapés were delicious, and my guests loved the cocktails. The mixologist was very attentive, ensuring everyone had a drink. It truly added a special touch to the day. Highly recommended.

I worked with Antoine and the team, including the fabulous mixologist Derrick, for a fragrance masterclass event with a select group of high profile influencers. They were all really wonderful to work with, really organised and professional. I would definitely recommend.

I was provided with a chef for a lunch at home. This was a great success with delicious food and we all had a truly enjoyable lunch and afternoon without any of the stress involved in preparing food while hosting!

Wonderful and excellent food, great personality and very professional. 100% recommendation

It is a real pleasure to recommend Chef Stefano Leone. I’ve had the joy of knowing and working with Stefano for many years, and in that time I’ve come to admire not only his exceptional talent in the kitchen but also his dedication and passion for his craft. His food is always memorable - imaginative, full of depth, and consistently executed with great precision. Whether creating something simple or elaborate, Stefano approaches every dish with the same care and attention, and the results are nothing short of outstanding. What makes Stefano stand out even more is the way he works. He keeps his kitchen organised, calm, and efficient, which makes service feel effortless for everyone around him. His enthusiasm is infectious, his dedication unwavering, and his professionalism shines through in all that he does. I recommend Stefano wholeheartedly, without a moment’s hesitation.

Hometainment is absolutely brilliant when helping plan events! Excellent ideas, fast responses and a wonderful team. Would highly recommend!

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!
