Latest blog post for Red Anywhere Catering Sussex

Not many are brave enough to risk cries of “Not on a work day!”, “I can’t get a babysitter!” and “But that’s curry night!” from all areas of their guest list, and plan a midweek wedding. Those who are, however, may just be pleasantly surprised. One of our couples recently did just this, booking Grittenham Barn, near Petworth for their wedding reception on a Wednesday mid July. And pleasant, it was! Our lovely couple were able to decorate the beautiful Grittenham Barn to the hilt, transforming the already stunning, rustic building into something really magical.

Last weekend Red catered for a private client at their beautiful home on the Kingston Gorse private estate in West Sussex. The event was to celebrate a birthday and what a celebration it was….Fine Food, Great Wine, Summer Cocktails, Opera Singing and a band to rock the night away alfresco by the pool…. Red’s usual standard!!

The evening kicked off with Bellini’s, Champagne and some sublime Canapes served by the wonderful team at Red… Then we were entertained by a young male opera singer (sorry did not get his name) but he was not Italian… but sang in Italian, very well!

A day in the life of a trainee event co-ordinator…

9 am – I drive into the car park, I’m on time (it’s a miracle) ditch the car in a vacant space and bound into the office. Take off my coat and turn on the computer, and then undertake the most important job of the day – putting the kettle on! No doubt when Dan comes in he will demand a cup of tea, mind you it’s usually coffee he asks for when I’m making it (he thinks I can’t make tea!) I head back towards my computer as Laura Walks through the door, big smile and hugs as we discuss what we did over the weekend. The office begins to fill; once all the team are in we get to work. In the main office all you can hear is the taping of keys on the keyboards as each member of staff is going about their work. Laura replying to enquiries built up over the weekend, Andy organising staff for the upcoming event, and me replying to the brides who have booked Eastlands Estate as their wedding venue.
