RED Anywhere has won three category awards and the coveted Overall Business of the Year award at the 2008 Arun Business Partnership’s “Business of the Year Awards” ceremony held October 16^th. No other company has ever gained that many award nominations and wins in the entire history of the event!

In all, we won the New Business of the Year, Website of the Year and Business In Education awards as well as being declared Overall Business of the Year 2008.

The Arun Business Partnership Awards event is the highlight of the business year for the area. The Partnership began life 10 years ago in 1998 as the Littlehampton Business Partnership, established to bring local businesses together for the common good. After four years of productive networking and learning, the Partnership expanded to include Bognor Regis and In December 2006, Arundel officially joined the Partnership and the full Arun Business Partnership was born.

Facilitated by the Economic Development Team from Arun District Council, Partnership meetings have no formal structure or agenda - they deal with the issues of the moment that are important to member companies. The Partnership aims to establish strategic links with local education providers, companies and private/public sector organisations that can help businesses grow.

We thought we stood a good chance of getting a couple of awards, but to get more “gold medals” than anyone has got before is very pleasing! It’s thanks to the hard work of our staff and our partners that we’ve come this far in so short a time. We’re delighted to have won New Business and Overall Business of the Year and the Business in Education award is especially pleasing. Forging links with local schools, colleges and the community at large is very important to us. The Website of the Year award is also great recognition of the fact that, as our business is entirely based online, our site has got to be good – and it is thanks to the excellent work of Fresh Egg!

Thanks to everyone involved in last night, our partners and all our customers who’ve given us the chance to showcase what we can do! Next year let’s hope we can do the catering at the event as well!

Fittleworth medical asked us to cater for a very prestigious lunch where they invited all their trustees over from America to their office in Sussex.

Julia MD of Fittleworth wanted to impress her VIP Guests but not go over the top, so we came up with the idea of a traditional English Lunch that would show the trustees a little bit of England!

Our Creative Chef, Daniel Clarke prepared a delicious buffet lunch compromising of fresh flavoured Breads, Meats, Salads, a selection of Cheeses and Fresh Homemade Scones with Cornish Clotted Cream and Homemade Strawberry Jam. All accompanied with fresh Coffee, English Tea and soft drinks.

“Everything was lovely yesterday. I had many compliments on the food and how smoothly it all went, which really are due to you and your staff.  My thanks to you and all your staff who were so helpful and efficient, causing no disruption at all to our working environment.  Everything was absolutely delicious, but if I had to pick my particular favourite it would be the scones, clotted cream and jam (to die for!!)….

Thank you for helping to make yesterday a success for us”

Executive Administrator, Fittleworth Medical

Last Saturday Red Anywhere headed to Wales where they were asked to cook dinner for 18 guests at a 50th Birthday Celebration held in a beautiful private house.

Herewith begin the Master Chef Experience…

The night was themed and all guests were dressed from head to toe in very authentic Ladies and Lords attire, the birthday boy came dressed as a ‘Knight in Shining Armour’ which, as you can imagine, only lasted till he sat down for dinner. Another guest came as ‘Lady Penelope’ which I thought was an excellent idea & great play on words.

When we arrived at the house we set up our equipment in the stunning kitchen and then started to lay the table up, ready for the evening ahead.

Guests started to arrive around 7pm and were greeted with a smile and a glass of Champagne,next they were invited into the drawing room where they enjoyed a selection of our finest Canapés including Mango & Chorizo Risotto, Gazpacho Soup with Cucumber Jelly and Poached Salmon, Horseradish & Dill with Langoustine.

The Lords and Ladies were then invited to take their seats in the suitably decorated dining room where they were served a 7 course taster menu cooked by Master Chef of Great Britain, Daniel Clarke, accompanied by fine wines from France. Dishes that tantalised the guests’ taste buds included a volute of Pea, Ham & Chervil as well as Monkfish, Pickled Sultanas & Capers with Home made Apple Sauce.

After the delicious Duck main course we served an exciting dessert which included Passion Fruit Crème Brulee, Apple Jelly with Apple & Basil Sorbet, Vanilla Pannacota with Roasted Banana all washed down with a fine dessert wine! Dan is famous for his desserts and sure enough this was the dish that the guests didn’t stop talking about and ended up taking a vote as to what part of the dessert was their favourite!

A Selection of local Cheeses with celery & Grapes was then served, shortly followed with some fresh Coffee.

The Lords and Ladies then retired to the garden and lounge area for a glass of port before they called it a night and headed back to their own homes.

As part of the experience we ensure that the venue is left as we found it, so it was now down to the Red Anywhere team to get down to the clearing & washing up, leaving our clients nothing to worry about when they wake in the morning.

As we bid our farewells the guests thanked us for a lovely evening and for the delicious food & wine.

If you would like a ‘Master Chef Experience’ at your home, a delicious meal cooked by Master Chef of Great Britain and fine wines for you and your guests then please give me a call (Charlie) on 0845 223 4472 to find out more.
