Make it personal by exploring private chef styles popular in Sussex. For special occasions, Fine Dining offers seasonal tasting menus with elegant plating and wine-friendly courses. French and Italian remain timeless, while Mediterranean menus bring vibrant salads, grills and seafood. For relaxed gatherings, BBQ and Grazing options deliver abundant sharing platters, ideal for garden parties and office socials. Craving bold flavours? Choose Japanese, Pan-Asian, Chinese, Thai or Indian with sushi, dumplings, curries and wok-fried dishes prepared fresh in your kitchen. Latin menus, from Mexican to Peruvian, add spice-forward plates and ceviches. If wellness is the brief, explore Vegan, Vegetarian and Healthy menus built around seasonal produce without compromising taste. Entertaining a crowd or hosting standing receptions? Canapés & Bowl Food keep service flowing and conversation easy. Our chefs tailor menus for corporate events, anniversaries or intimate date nights-always accommodating allergies and dietary needs. Every style includes ingredients, service and clean-up, so you enjoy the restaurant experience without leaving home. Not sure which subcategory fits? Share your theme, budget and kitchen setup, and HOMETAINMENT will recommend the best chef and menu for a seamless night.
Marco came to our house and put on the most incredible spread of sushi. Absolutely top top drawer stuff, would highly recommend to anyone after a delicious and very professional catering experience!
We were very fortunate to have Mimi cater our wedding. From the get-go Mimi was super engaged, flexible and approachable. When it came to the actual weekend Mimi was a force of good-natured efficiency. She kept us aware of any issues that need our input but without adding to the inevitable last-minute wedding stress. She was even up at 4 AM checking on the slow cooking lamb! On the day it was all better than we could have hoped for. Everything was utterly delicious, but also and importantly for us not the standard wedding fare (apart from honey mustard sausages obvs). The Asian pork belly was a particular favourite canape of mine as was the tuna tartare. The lamb for the main was honestly the best I have had, and I know several typically non lamb-eating friends had to do some soul searching afterwards. I would recommend Mimi to anyone for whom food is a priority. She provides something a bit different (and in my experience better) that most catering companies, helping to create an atmosphere that will feel uniquely yours
Our chef Evy was brilliant from start to finish. Super professional and flexible...she was happy to time things when it suited us. The food was sensational....we had limited options due to various food allergies and dietary needs, but Evy came up with a magnificent menu that suited out needs. It was a fabulous meal...and best of all no washing up! I would highly recommend Evy for any home chef needs.

Wonderful service, delicious food and hard working professionals. Thoroughly recommended!
It was such a treat to have a meal at home with Chef Bahar to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The Persian inspired menu looked amazing and Bahar’s cooking and presentation was exquisite. Most of the dishes were new to us and it was wonderful to taste authentic Persian cuisine. We were so impressed with the whole experience from start to finish. The Hometainment team were quick to respond to my enquiry, which was rather last minute, and help chose a menu and chef to best suit our request of vegetarian menu and budget.
Great service Great service. Mags managed to find me a chef at a reasonable cost. Chef Raul did well entertaining our guests.
This has truly been the most exceptional entertainment experience I've ever had the pleasure of booking! I arranged a Cognac tasting and a Rum tasting for my husband's birthday, and every aspect of the experience, from the initial booking to the presence of our skilled bartender, David, exceeded our expectations. David not only delivered the finest drinks but also shared his profound knowledge of the beverages, leaving us thoroughly impressed. We also opted for the chef experience, which was nothing short of spectacular. The food was exquisite, and the overall experience felt truly luxurious. Throughout the entire process, Antoine, who assisted us via the website, was exceptionally helpful. He responded promptly to every message and accommodated all our requests with grace. I wholeheartedly recommend this service for any event, and without a doubt, I will be booking the chef and expert bartender services again in the future!
