Coffee Fairy

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!

Red find a real gem in west sussex…Northfields House

23/11/09 in News by Dan Clarke | No Comments Comments

I am a great believer in things happen for a reason and this is even more true when you hear how we found a beautiful venue in West Sussex….. We received an enquiry from a couple that said they were having their wedding reception at a county house near Arundel? Bailiffscourt sprang to mind and as I was Head Chef there for 3 years I knew we would notbe able to cater at the country house.

First Blog Post for Laura… Down Time!

Down Time

So the wedding season is behind us and Christmas not quite upon us (no matter what the high street might think). What do we do here at Red with
all…this…time?  I hear you ask.

You might imagine we use the break to catch up on current affairs (Face-book), to read that novel or file our nails, flicking through wedding magazines
and sighing – dreaming of the next time we’ll get to cater for a beautiful bride and a room full of her guests…

Well imagine again!  I can categorically state that there is no day dreamy, Facebooky relaxation going on in the Red Office.  Allow me to elaborate…

We’ve got next years’ Brides to think about first of all…
Then Corporate Dinners and Masked Balls, Wedding Fares in need of Stalls.
With Don’t Tell the Bride and Master Chef Meals, we’ve got bookings coming out of our ears.

New client in, no time to waste!  There are menus to design and food to taste.
There are site visits, meetings, quotes to create.  And an open Day soon, at Eastlands Estate!

With great Venues like Farbridge and the Dome, it’s a wonder we ever get home.
Emails beeping, phones ringing, Will in the Kitchen, singing…

I’d love to continue blogging in rhyme, but I’m really very busy – I don’t have the time!

Regards

Laura

My first Master Chef Experience Dinner, perfectly executed on Halloween Night!!

I Will O’Hara Sous Chef of Red Anywhere and Becks Red Anywhere Chef de Partie took a trip to a private residence in Hindhead Surrey, to cater for 8 guests. This gastronomic night of fine food and wine coupled with great service was for Sue Neale and her guests who generously donated a large sum of money at a summer ball at Goodwood House, Sussex two years ago. The charity, ‘Dreams come true’ aims to bring joy to terminally and seriously ill children by fulfilling their treasured dreams. In return Sue won the prize of a Master Chef Dinner experience.

Roast Beef & Horseradish… with a twist of course!

19/10/09 in General by Dan Clarke | No Comments Comments

Probably one of the most famous dishes in the world and loved by everyone… Roast Beef and Horseradish. Well how about a twist, we recently catered for a couple who loved food and wanted something “out of the box” for their wedding day!

So here is what we did. Roasts Sirloin of Scotch Beef served Medium Rare and Thick Cut, Served with Dauphineoise Potatoes, Wild Mushrooms, Beetroot Purée and wait for it……. Horseradish ICE CREAM…! Yes Horseradish ICE CREAM…. The guests loved it, I am sure some of them were not quite sure if it was horseradish cream!

So if you are looking for a caterer to give you something completely bespoke then look no further then Red Anywhere…. This dish was served to 100 guests and all commented on how innovative the dish was and how sublime the Ice Cream tasted, even if not to everyone’s taste

 Roast Beef & Horseradish... with a twist of course!
