Master chef Dan Clarke specialises in exquisite food, Sublime Drinks, great entertainment and a service that is professional and friendly.
Mr and Mrs Bridal Boutique in Worthing has launched its brand new and awaited website! You may ask why we are telling you this well…. Dan our creative chef has an interest in the boutique as his lovely partner Fran runs and owns it!
I was delighted and very excited when we were asked to cook a special dinner for Aisha and James Caan at their private residence in London! The Master Chefs experience was for 12 guests and the influence was to be Indian / Asian flavours which was a real challenge!
After much discussion and research by myself including visiting one of the Caan’s favourite restaurants in London called Patara we decided on a 7 course tasting menu which was a blend of exciting flavours and textures.
The evening was a great success and enjoyed by all, we even had James daughters Gemma and Hannah in the kitchen watching us and asking questions as they love their food.
It was a great experience for us not only cooking for the Caan’s but being challenged to come up with new and exciting ideas, Red Anywhere is all about thinking out of the box and giving the client the wow factor and what they really want at their event….. I think we managed that with this one!

Testimonial below from Aisha and James
Dear Dan and the Team at Red Anywhere
We wanted to thank you for a wonderful evening of fine food, great Mocktails and excellent service.
This was by no means an easy task as we asked you to create a 7 course tasting menu around the theme of Asian flavours. You took the time to research the dishes and flavours we had mentioned and also visited one of our favourite restaurants to get a real feel for the food we love to eat, this was very impressive!
On the night from the minute you arrived at our home you and your staff were professional courteous and most of all made us feel relaxed knowing that everything was taken care off.
The food, well it was great, great textures and balance of flavours an executed just how we imagined, our guests were very impressed and the whole night was seamless.
Well done to you and all of your staff Dan, we look forward to using you again the future
Thank you
James and Aisha Caan
Lets start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year and hope its full of lots of GOLF! including our 4th annual Charity Golf Day!
The Red Golf Day continues to grow from strength to strength and to add to this already phenomenal day we are very luck that one of our main sponsors…. LWS Creative of Arundel have built us a website to represent the golf day!
A huge thank you to Claire Love, MD of LWS and the team for putting such a great site together for us and a special thank you to Cat one of the designers at LWS for seeing our vision for the site and I hope you will all admit she has done a fantastic job!
Well that’s enough of babbling on click on the link and see for yourself…… “Red Golf Day 2009″
I will start with saying “WOW” and a huge well done to Sam and Terri from Pretty Clever Events and all the team at Red Anywhere for what was an amazing party…. well weekend in Bath
The event was a 60th birthday celebration with a difference… the setting was a stunning country estate just outside Bath with beautiful views and amazing gardens. We then came along and stuck one of the biggest marquees I ever seen right on it!
There is so much to say about this event that I could write a book let alone a blog but I will give you a few snippets and then please look at all the pictures.
Canapes… Foie Gras Brule, King Prawn Cocktail, Crispy Duck, Fish and Chips served in wooden effect cones!
The menu consisted of 4 courses and started with a Wild Mushroom Veloute with Truffle Oil, Followed by Home Cured Gravadlax, Smoked Salmon and Horseradish Potato Salad. Main Course was Rump of Welsh Lamb, Fondant Potato, Roasted Vegetables and a light Rosemary Jus. Pudding was a delicate Vanilla & Star Anise Pannacota with Home Made Apple and Basil Sorbet…. one of my own creations and dam good I have to say!
The Entertainment was well amazing and so much of it…. there were Stilt Walkers, Fire Breathers, Jugglers, Magicians and even a show that had music and cabaret which all the guest loved! and then if that was not enough Marilyn Monroe made an appearance (well a very fine look a like) at midnight to sing Happy Birthday to the birthday boy!
A great band then sang some good old oldies and got the place rocking and rolling to the early hours of the morning!
After a couple of hours sleep and a large coffee we then prepared ourselves for the Sunday Tuscan Brunch which was an array of breakfast items, cold meats and fish, Hot roast Beef and Vegetables and even my good self on the stoves in front of guests cooking omelette’s, fried eggs and scrambled eggs, they loved it and I must admit so did I!
well I think by now your getting the gist of this party…. it was amazing and 200 very lucky people had a wonderful weekend which was put together by Pretty Clever Events based in Brighton…. we have been working with the ladies for about 6 months now and there passion, creativity and professionalism is second to none and once again a huge applause to Sam, Terri and all the girls….
Here’s looking forward to the next event…
Dan – Creative Chef, Red Anywhere
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”
After Scooping 3 awards at Arun Business of the Year Awards & the first prize ‘Business of the Year Award’ on Thursday night, Red Anywhere and all the staff celebrated in style at an exclusive restaurant in Arundel, The Town House.
With a Master Chef as part of your party it’s hard to find a good quality restaurant in West Sussex where you can enjoy excellent food, good wine and superb service. Luckily Dan knew about the stunning restaurant ‘The Town House’ situated in the heart of Arundel so we made our way there in high spirits.
The Head Chef & Owner, Lee Williams cooked us all an outstanding meal which was accompanied with great wine & fantastic service. A few dishes served up included Seared Foie Gras with Grape Chutney & Toasted Ricotta Bread, Noisette of Lamb with Spinach, Caramelised Shallots and Confit Potatoes and to finish I indulged in a delicious Chocolate Fondant with Caramel Ice Cream.
The food in my opinion was absolutely amazing and I am already thinking about when I will be returning! Thanks to Lee for a fantastic evening of great food and service and for daring to cook for a Master Chef of Great Britain!
