We hired Darren for a client drinks party - he was absolutely fantastic and brought that something extra to the party that made our guests feel extra special. Cannot recommend him enough, the audience were AMAZED
Such a beautiful and meditative practice. The simplicity taught me so much about my inner world. I had no idea that so much could be expressed through simple drawings. It was amazing with Ekta
Thank you Sharky and George for the best party, Harry loved it! Don't know where Max and John found the energy! Next year survival!!!!
In the words of Robert’s mate, Douglas, also 6 years old, “It was epic!”

I can thank Antoine and especially Chef Lara for making the Halloween event we held so amazing. Lara got 100% what i wanted and understood exactly the look and feel of the meal we wanted. Unlike other chefs who wanted to dissuade me from my ideas, Lara took them on with enthusiasm and energy. Without her amazing food and excellent team, the night would not have been as much of a success. I will 100% use Hometainment and Chef Lara again. It was a pleasure to work with them and took a huge amount of stress out of the whole event knowing that they were there looking after things. Thank you Antoine and Lara.
Coco and all the kiddies LOVED them - and it was so lovely to see even the most shy of her friends joining in and having fun
Having asked Mimi to cook and prepare my post solo show supper party I felt completely relaxed and trusted her expert choices and decisions in what we might like to eat. We all appeared from the gallery to a feast of food... it was beautifully presented and completely delicious. Her unusual salads, cottage pie and mouth watering brownies vanished. Her professionalism, style and attention to detail was exceptional and Mimi was always there with a smile.
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
