IS NEW MANAGER OF STARKIE ARMS


MANAGER of the Starkie Arms Hotel, Mr Giorg.o Ronclietti has only had his


job for a week. But Mr Ronchetti alreaoy


knows his way around the hotel well enough — because he h a s been head waiter


th e re for the pas t three years. The first few days of business for him, and his English wife, Valerie, who is in charge of the h o te ls catering side, have been


ra th e r hectic. A native of Como, Italy, he


has however had 22 years' experience of catering in Iris home country, Switzci land and England, so he has been able to cope with th e many problems lacing him.
