Make it personal by exploring private chef styles popular in Essex. 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?

Hometainment is absolutely brilliant when helping plan events! Excellent ideas, fast responses and a wonderful team. Would highly recommend!
Chef Aida Khan has put a lot of thought into creating an authentic experience for her clients. My favourite is the lamb shoulder and palak paneer with sourdough naan.
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!

We enjoyed a wonderful Ascot picnic made by Chef Rachael who was a joy to deal with and whose sandwiches were spectacular
I had Miss Mimi cater a Chinese New Year party for 80 people at my home. She did everything from plan the menu, organise the serving dishes to keep on the theme, prep, cook and left my kitchen spotless. And the food was out of this world. She staggered it so it was all hot and fresh and kept a constant mix of dishes she sent out. She did so much research to come up with a wide range of substantial hors d’oeuvres that ranged from vegetarian to quite filling meat dishes. She even went as far as to get the right color orchids to decorate the dishes as well. Nothing was left to chance and she was meticulous about her process. I can’t wait to use her again!
