Business News Caterers take up new residency
Sutton Coldfield-based catering firm Caviar & Chips have been appointed as residency caterers at Shropshire wedding venue and holiday destination Walcot Hall. The firm will be residency caterers for weddings and events from 2021. Set in 30 acres of Shropshire countryside in Lydbury North, Walcot Hall is
an elegant Georgian house once owned by Clive of India. Incredibly, the property was rescued from demolition in the late 1920s and
almost 100 years later is now owned by the Parish family who have been in residence for the last 50 years. The family have invested in the property and grounds and created a
stunning destination venue for guests that visit from all over the UK and from around the world. Caviar & Chips have won multiple awards for their wedding and event
catering and their approach to crafting menus and service with their clients. Co-founders, Jonathan Carter-Morris and Marc Hornby created Caviar &
Chips in 2017 when they were studying their MBAs at Aston Business School. Jonathan was planning his own wedding at the time, but couldn’t find a
caterer that could provide the menu that he and his now wife Gemma were looking for. They did it themselves and so Caviar & Chips was created. Since then Caviar & Chips have gone on to cater for over 100 weddings
and events all over the UK and this year opened their own 16th Century pub in Kenilworth, Warwickshire - The Famous Virgins & Castle. Estate Manager at Walcot Hall, Luke Whitney said: We’re really excited to
appoint Caviar & Chips as resident caterers for our weddings and events at Walcot Hall. We’ve been looking at various ways to deliver a quality food offering for our clients and explored doing this in-house, having a preferred supplier list and creating a residency. "We’ve known and worked with Caviar & Chips for over two years now
and wherever they go they receive rave reviews with their approach and standard of food and service. It’s a perfect partnership with the ambitions we have at Walcot Hall to now have a first-class catering team in place that will mean clients enjoy a unique place with their unique menu." Jonathan, co-founder and executive chef at Caviar & Chips, added: "It’s
no secret that the wedding and events sector has been hugely affected by the impact of Covid-19.
“The way we’ve been navigating our way through this is to put our
clients first and collaborate with great partners. “Walcot Hall is a stunning venue and the team are a pleasure to work
with and we can’t wait to start creating new and bespoke menus for weddings and events in the coming years. “We’re looking forward to bringing our client-led and bespoke approach
to Walcot. Creating menus using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients based on the food that clients actually want rather than being told what to have. Furthermore, we’re looking forward to creating more jobs in the area as our business grows and we attract talented people into a career in hospitality.”
