Top 10 Ways to Catering Bliss

27/05/10 in General by peter | 3 Comments Comments

One of the most stressful occasions in life, apart from moving house or having a child, can be organizing an event with catering. Nobody wants to be remembered for being the organiser of a wedding event, or a corporate engagement that falls spectacularly on its face because the catering was a disaster! I have experienced both success and failure, and have tried to list methods of making the process as comfortable as possible.

Another Happy Client – Sparkle Ball Arundel!

05/04/10 in News by Dan Clarke | No Comments Comments

After just posting a blog on the Sparkle Ball we received a wonderful letter from Sally Spanner (Chair of the Committee) Thanking us for our help…. I felt it appropriate to share with the World…

Dear Dan

Was going to write you a letter but Laura has suggested I just email.

I wanted to tell you how pleased we all were with the catering and service at the ball on Friday.  You did brilliantly and without a doubt contributed to what everyone is saying was the best Sparkle Ball of the lot!

Andy, Richard and Laura, as well as the whole team, could not have been more helpful and efficient.  Even with the inevitable chaotic moments they remained smiling and kept everyone happy.  It was all very impressive and there have been many compliments to Red.

The meal was utterly delicious.   I managed a few mouthfuls (a first!) before I was called away to something else and they were really tasty.  Guests commented on everything from the canapes to the end and loved it all.

And thank-you, Dan, for the very generous price you gave us.  We did appreciate that, as it is always so scary trying to organise charity events – especially during a recession.  I hope it will lead to many other commissions for you and if you would like to pass my telephone no. to possible future clients, I would be more than happy to highly recommend you.

Please pass on our thanks to every single member of your fantastic staff.  Where on earth did you find them?!

If/when my daughters get married, I will be on to you first!

Many, many thanks to everyone at Red Anywhere.  You deserve enormous success.

Sally

WELL DONE THE RED TEAM! :)

Arundel Sparkle Ball – 9 Days Notice, 300 Guests, No Problem!

01/04/10 in General by Dan Clarke | No Comments Comments

Two weeks ago I got a call from a lady asking if were available on the 26th March… I replied, for 2011, she replied know in 9 days time. I assumed that it would be a private dinner for 16 and perhaps the lady had been on our website looking for a Master Chef Experience…. How wrong was I?

I asked for how many guests… the lady replied 250-300 at that point I nearly fell off my chair… I said 250-300! In 9 days time! What has happened? Basically the previous caterers decided to pull out and the committee were frantically calling around to see if anyone could for-fill the event… Of course I said in a very calm manner we can do that, No problem… behind the scenes I was thinking of Staffing, Menu, Logistics etc etc but when you have a good team around you and the resources to pull something together like this in such a short space of time you get a real buzz….
