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.

Unfortunately Master Chef of great Britain Daniel Clarke was unable to cook due to a serious knee operation – we hope he gets better soon!
He then entrusted me to take over and cook to his very high standard, and of course I performed. After the last few years of training from Daniel I was able to cook fantastic food on his behalf.
The 8 guests enjoyed a delicious a 5 course dinner consisting of Thai style Fish cakes, Pickled Cucumber, Coconut and Tomato broth. Then our famous parmesan and bacon risotto with a soft runny poached egg and hollandaise sauce…. Truly Sublime!
Main course was rump of Welsh lamb cooked medium rare, Fondant Potato, Pea and Mint purée with roasted Leeks and a light Rioja Jus.
Dessert was Red Anywhere’s famous sticky Toffee pudding, Salted Toffee sauce and Vanilla Pod Ice-Cream – perfect for a cold October evening!
The dessert was followed by a local Sussex cheese board and a glass of port.
All courses were accompanied by carefully selected wines supplied by Sussex Victuallers in East Preston, West Sussex, our close friend and supplier.
The evening was a huge success and I am truly honoured to be able to cook on Dan’s behalf and his Master Chef status.

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

he Dome for 2 years on a personal recommendation basis which has resulted in us catering for the NHS, Fresh Egg & most recent the National Energy Association… after proving ourselves over this time and delivering exceptional events, Head of Events and Sales Donna Miller has told us this week that Red will now be recommended to all clients for the foreseeable future…

Dan, Andy and the team at Red are ecstatic about this relationship and Dan particularly was thrilled of the news… “Its worth persisting with something no matter how long it takes, we have been chipping away at Donna and the team at the Dome and now all our hard work has paid off”

Red are very excited at the prospect of catering on a more regular basis at the Dome and this starts with the “Gaps Ball” sponsored by British Airways for 500 covers next year which is Red Anywhere’s client…

Well done to all at Red Anywhere and a huge thank you to Donna and the staff at the Dome…

The futures bright…its very Red!

Most of us on a Tuesday night would be at Home sitting down ready to watch another episode of EastEnders…. Not Red Anywhere…. We were at Brighton Dome last night cooking for 300 guests for the Annual NEA (National Energy Action) Conference Dinner….

We were delighted to be asked to cater for this prestigious event at the Dome, a venue that is fantastic for the numbers with its great facilities both front and back of house!

The menu needed to be excellent as usual for Red but also simple enough that it could be served in a short space of time. The menu consisted of Leek and Potato Soup with Crispy Leeks & Cheese on Toast. Roast Leg of Welsh Lamb, Fondant Potato, Rosemary Jus, Bowls of Braised Red Cabbage & Green Beans. For the dessert we finished off with Dan’s very silky Chocolate Mousse served in a Martini Glass with White Chocolate and Passion Fruit Sorbet……

It was a great night and everything went to plan…. we swerved the dinner in the time allocated and even had time to enjoy one of the desserts myself…. (Quality Control)

My team at Red did really well with special thanks to Laura and Richard who ran front of house with a professional and attentive team. Big thanks to my sous Chef Will and the rest of the kitchen team who all excelled under pressure on a big night!

Another Successful event from Red…. If you are looking for the Wow factor for any type of event and a company that is passionate about food, Drink and Service then let us know….

I was lucky enough to meet Keith a few times down in Cornwall where I am from. In his earlier days he ran a pub in Cornwall called the “Snooty Fox” we visited there regularly as a family and Keith was always out talking to people and telling stories, and always with a glass of red in his hand!

I remember watching Keith’s cookery programmes and I am sure that some of my inspiration to be a chef came from those early years watching Floyd on Fish…. His style and passion for cooking with good ingredients and producing simple but tasty food was fantastic and these days almost forgotten….

We wish him well as he lays to rest and thank him for the many years of great cooking, lots of laughter and a glass of wine or two!!

Red Anywhere catered at the prestigous Magic Circle HQ in London on Friday, This venue recently won venue of the year… I can see why!

The client was the UK’s leading Web Design and Internet Marketing Company Fresh Egg which is headed up by Adam Stafford who recently appointed James Caan off the very popular Dragons Den to be there Chairman….

Adam Stafford – MD Fresh Egg

Janes Caan – Chairman Fresh Egg

So…. The title hopefully makes sense now… well apart from the Magical Pots

This is where Red Anywhere took to the stage. I put togehter some exciting Grazing Bowls for the event as it was over 3 floors with only and hour for lunch, these included… Braised Blade of Beef, Horseradish Mash, Braising Juices. Thai Green Chicken Curry, Saffron & Jasmine Rice and Smoked Chicken Caesar Salad, Everyone a touch of magic that burst with flavour, even the resident magician was wowed by the Beef!

Then we served some “Magical Pots”… These were sublime desserts served in little black couldrons that surprised everyone… even me and I made them. We served Tangy Lemon Posset with poached Blueberries, Rich Chocolate Mousse with Bananas roasted in Rum and my favourite and very famous…. Sticky Toffee Pudding with Salted Toffee Sauce… definately magical!

The day was a great success and the team at Red Anywhere did a great job… We then travelled back to West Sussex were we loaded up for a wedding on the saturday…. thankfully not in London

If you are looking for the WOW factor for any event, a company that thinks out of the box and a dedicated team bursting with passion and flair then look no further then Red Anywhere!

The informal evening started off with a glass of wine in the open air enjoying the outside space at Euphoria where they can show off the great Hot Tubs, Saunas and Lifestyle products including state of the art home entertainment and AV equipment…

The guests were then served Red’s famous grazing bowls which consisted of Thai Green Curry & Fragrant Rice, Smoked Chicken Caesar Salad and Posh king Prawn Cocktail, all going down very well…. Then if that was not enough Dan Clarke Creative Chef and Master Chef of GB gave Master Class on Risottos…. Alfresco cooking, fine food and great wine , what more could you ask for on a Thursday evening.

Dan was joined in his demonstration by his good friend and colleague Colin Bradshaw off the Sussex Victuallers Wine shop in East Preston. Colin matched wines with Dan’s risottos and gave a brief description of the wine followed by inviting guests to sample!

The evening was a great success and we would also like to thank Claire Love from LWS Creative

Well Done to all!

Red Anywhere catered for Patrick and Emma on their special day at Eastlands Estate yesterday in front of BBC Cameras for the very popular show “Dont Tell The Bride” Red were delighted to be asked to cater for Patrick’s and Emma’s big day at the beautiful Eastland’s were Red manage the operational side of the estate…..

Dan Commented on how the whole wedding was put together in just 3 weeks from start to finish….” we took a call from a chap called Patrick about 3 weeks ago who wanted to look around Eastlands for a wedding…. (quite normal as its a wedding venue) then he said the wedding was in 3 weeks! I then thought this was a joke or a wind up…. we then arranged to meet that evening and he did turn up with film crew etc etc….

At the end of the meeting in front of cameras we manged to work out a great deal for the couple and moved into action…. Amy who is our new wedding coordinator at Red was quick off the mark and was in constant communication with Patrick every day for the last 3 weeks. Amy had to liaise with camera crews and a production company based in London. It was quite a task but the team at Red rose to the occasion and the day was a huge success….

The couples whole day was filmed and we hope it all looks good on the camera!

The program is due to be shown on Tuesday 3rd November on BBC 3 at 9pm…. put it in your diaries!

Richard one of our event managers took to the green whilst we were waiting for the guest to arrive and thought he would try his hand at bowls…. yes bowls! he forgot 2 vital things… firstly I had my camera and secondly the bowls!

The trio of ladies sitting on the bench enjoying a peaceful afternoon found it very amusing and commented on his action…. what do you think?

The Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust are privileged to be hosting a series of these nationwide lectures and the team at Red Anywhere truly honoured to be invited to cater the first event in the presence of the Duke of Norfolk at his magnificent abode – Arundel Castle.
Red Anywhere staff ‘attacked’ from all angles armed with wonderful canapés; guests trying to fight off these food temptations from the left and from the right spoilt for choice – the asparagus soldiers with hollandaise sauce, the crispy lamb with mint risotto and the homemade banoffee pie true victors in this mini battle!
The human endeavor highlighted by the battles at Rorke’s Drift and Isandlwana will live on forever.
Red Anywhere’s visit to Arundel Castle armed with a canapé artillery will be an occasion of which we as caterers remain proud!

Dan, Chef owner of Red is a red through and throughout not only is his company called Red Anywhere and his favourite colour is Red, He and his 3 young children all follow the real Red Army…. Man Utd!

This weekend Dan was cooking at an event so he could not watch the match (pure dedication to my job) but was keen to get the score update when possible, he was delighted to find out that Man Utd drew with Arsenal which meant we had retained the title for the 3rd year running! even more special is that Dan’s sous chef Willy is a Chelsea fan… oh well looks like another year of winning nothing Willy! (Everton will beat them in the FA Cup)

So this coupled with 2 successful events, one in Hurstpier Point with a Moroccan Theme and the second in Felpham near Bognor Regis, It was a good weekend all round

By the way the diary is blocked out for the evening of the 27th! (Champions League Final)

This picture is for you Willy

Ok here we go…

The cocktail is called a Nojito. Its basically a Mojito (famous cocktail made with rum) without the Rum. Its very refreshing, full of Lime and Mint and has a Fizz to it which cleans the pallet leaving you wanting more… and perhaps a little Rum if you have some.

The recipes goes like this…

Juice of 1 Lime

12 x Mint Leaves

2oz Apple Juice (preferably pressed)

a little sugar

topped up with Lemonade or Soda

you should serve this in a High Ball or Long Glass with cubed ice and build the drink in the glass and stir.

hopefully you will love it!

let me know waht you think and how you get on..?

Red Anwhere – the clue is in the name, ‘Anywhere’.
We had a trio of weddings over the weekend each one individual in menu choice, food style and location!

The 3 brides were all delighted with the Red Team and all suitably impressed with the delivery of each event.
We looked after Jan and Hazel who had a civil ceremony in the sunshine on a 200 country estate complete with lake backdrop, croquet lawn and delicious menu consisting of locally sourced ingredients formally executed;  then there was Beth and Mick who enjoyed an informal bbq in a beautiful nature reserve in Hampshire offering an array of salads complete with giant paella stand and an ice cream stall were our home made ice creams proved a huge success, especially the cinnamon and sultana flavour!
Then of course there was Jacqueline and Martin to complete the trilogy. This couple had a fabulous hog roast at their home were guests gathered on their patio for drinks, the aromas of the hog wafting through the mid afternoon calm – a relaxed wedding breakfast where everyone felt comfortably indulged.

Red delivered – Everyone happy!

Well what a final, Was Ad ever going to win against the Queen of Dynasty Linda Evans….? I think the public warmed to Linda from the very start and even she said that Ad was the better cook…. but we all love Linda, Linda, Linda!

I personally was rooting for Bruce. I watched him closely and was very impressed from what I saw. He was a team player, hard working, loyal, passionate and never grumbled or moaned! I honestly thought he was going to win until he dropped the shock of the show by wanting to go home and see his wife. I think also the added fact that the Hillsborough Memorial was clearly in his thoughts… as Marco said he left as a winner and can hold his head high!

Well what next? Will Ad open a restaurant in America with Linda serving Crab, Crab, Crab and Veal… we can only wait and see.

Will Grant and Anthea open a restaurant called “Simply Grant Bovey”

And we could see Danielle better known as Daniel open a restaurant called “what’s my surname”

All in all it was a great show and Marco is a true legend in the world of cooking and my Chefs Hat goes off to the big man…. Well Done Marco!

Just remember….. A tree without roots is just a piece of wood!
