We got this sent us by a client and we found it very funny, Now with Mr Ramsay in the news we thought it ironic to let you have a look!

What a night! Exquisite Food, Fine Wine & Great Company.

Red Anywhere has just launched its Exclusive Dining Club where members are invited to come together and enjoy a 7 course taster menu along with beautiful hand-picked wines and a brief talk on a relevant subject, whether it be Wines, Cheese or Chocolate.

Daniel Clarke, Master Chef of Great Britain started the evening off by introducing himself & his team, explaining a bit about the evening and welcoming Colin Bradshaw, our guest speaker.

Before each course was served Dan entered the room and explained to the guests what the next dish was and what inspired Dan to create it and serve it that evening. Whilst the Red Team served the course, Red’s very own wine supplier Colin Bradshaw, Owner of Sussex Victuallers gave a short and sweet explanation about the wine being served with that course; what grape was used, where it was produced, its age and most importantly alcohol percentage.

The dessert wine that was served with the pre-dessert had an alcohol percentage of 15.4 however, it complimented the delicious Chocolate Mousse superbly, maybe a little to well!

An excellent Port was then served with the Cheese course, which was a Cornish Yarg – Dan chose this cheese as it was actually made in the village in Cornwall where he grew up.

We then progressed on to coffees and left time for a little social networking between the guests. I even got a chance to have a small tipple at the end of the evening and spend time with our guests, which was very enjoyable.

The evening was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all…

“it was awesome last night, food was unbelievable, service delivered with perfection, wine like nothing tasted before, and I can’t wait to the next one”..

“Thanks for a great night last night. The food and wine were excellent and the great atmosphere you created made it really enjoyable”

“GREAT night! I felt like a king, Thank you”

I am a member of WBC and this morning I gave a presentation on what bloging is all about and how powerful it can be….!

So lets try it….. Worthing Business Circle run by local business man Steve Caroll who runs the highly successful graphics company based in Goring. The group is all about building business and building relationships in the local community. Around 40 local business owners and operators who all have  businesses located in West Sussex meet up once a week at the Burlington Hotel in Worthing to network over a cup of coffee and breakfast, there’s even a healthy choice of yoghurt and fruit….!

The room is littered with all kinds of businesses from estate agents, lawyers, accountants, graphic design, property renovation’s , roofing company and even a funeral director!

We generally stand up and talk about ourselves for about 1 minute (not as hard as you think for some of us) explaining what it is we do and what we are looking for….. not just in business, I have been looking for a new TV for ages!

The meeting generally raps up around 9am just before the traffic wardens are let loose along the seafront in Worthing and then we all carry on with our days work…! all in all a very productive way to start the day….!

if you are interested in this life changing group and want to grow your business and relationships with local people then get in touch with Steve Caroll (Chairman) at Inspiration by Design…. (see that Steve another plug for you!)

Cheers and I bid you a good day

Dan

p.s. All Worthing Business Circle members please reply and leave a comment and we will see if this works!

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

“May I just add my gratitude for the great ‘Lunch Event’ on Monday. The food was fantastic and your team were a credit to you. Thank you”
