Dan received confirmation today that he has made the final of “Young Entrepreneur of the Year” at the prestigious Gatwick Business Diamond Awards” The grand final will be held on the 10th March at the London Hilton, Gatwick. This years event is being hosted by Nick Hewer, Alan Sugars right hand man from the apprentice!

I am delighted to firstly be nominated for this award and secondly it shows the growth and success of Red Anywhere in such a short space of time… Even thought this award is aimed at myself its actually about Red Anywhere, the journey of how I got here and where we want to be…. that is down to a team… and I thank them for all there support and continued hard work and dedication to making Red Anywhere the force it is today!

Now all I need to do is win the award and carry on with our master plan to take over the world! The future is bright but its not Orange!!

Well it’s a new year and we are already very busy…which is good! For the next couple of months we have over 15 couples booked in for tastings! This gives the couple a chance to come along to our state of the art kitchens, have a look round, meet the team and then settle down in our Tasting Room and enjoy a feast of food!

At Red we offer all of our clients a complimentary tasting for up to 4 people, some clients are surprised by this others expect it. We are only too happy to offer this service as we know not all of our competitors do!

How they work….

Couples, Clients, Friends generally have narrowed down there choice to 2 or 3 options by the time we get to a tasting. So we cook and present the dishes they have chosen for them to taste, picture and also see if the whole menu balances itself and obviously if they like it!

If for some reason (not happened yet) they do not like anything they have been served then we start again at no extra charge but as I said I am very proud that everyone has enjoyed our tasting sessions and more often or not gone with what we have spoke about previously….

It’s also a great way for us to talk about the rest of their plans for their event and get to know each other on a personal level, I feel it’s important we as a team at Red treat every client individually and on a very personal basis… this is something we pride Red Anywhere on!

So if you are looking to book an event but not sure what to eat or already booked one but cannot pick from the mouth watering options…. then a tasting is the way forward!

Some pictures below of a recent tasting we did for one of our brides this year…. by the way they LOVED IT!

I had a lunch appointment in Midhurst last Friday and on the way decided to stop at one of our venues we cater at called Grittenham Barn near Petworth, they were having a Christmas Fare. I am so glad I stopped even though the torrential rain made it interesting driving down the lane to the barn.

I was staggered by the amount of people that were there, it was great to see. The barn was packed with private sellers, all kinds of items for sale from luxury jumpers to hand made kids clothes, Jewels and of course the Coffee Fairy!
