Security. This is an issue incase the crowd get a little too rowdy we need to take percautions as well as having tickets checked and gate crashes out of the way.

WEEK 10

I went futher on to research on the ideal menu for the dinner, that would not be too costy at the same time tastes fantastic.
After speaking to carol we came up with a great menu.

The Menu.
1)Chilled watercress soup, served in an espresso cup


2)Huge platters of fruits de mer - lobster, langoustines, mussels and crayfish, on a bed of samphire, served with a classic aioli


3)Pistachio-stuffed lamb on a bed of braised endive.


4)Tian of glazed red onion, roast pepper and aubergine.


5)A handmade chocolate 'teardrop' filled with a coffee, praline and white chocolate semifreddoOrWith a raspberry and redcurrant and passion fruit sorbet
Almond tuile biscuits.

This may sound quite expensive. Not to forget our limited budget of £50,000. However with room for negociation this is what Carol came up with. The cuttlery, table clothes and candles are already included in the foor and drink cost.

FOOD- £5387.

DRINKS-£8000.

WAITERS-£6 per hour per waiter. Therefore we need about 20 staff. The total cost of this would be app. £1600 for the night.

4 HEATED MARQUEES- £2200.

MY total expenses therefore are £17,187

WEEK 9


This week i did my share of the research and this is what i came up with.

The company responsible for the catering is Zefferanos. The reason for this is beause it is located in Islington North London next to the City and are ideally located for corporate events as well as private parties around London. They have a capable team who looks after all aspects of each event, from hand picking the perfect waiters, to matching table linen with flowers to organising the cloakroom ensuring the organisers a complete peace of mind. In that case i dont need to look for Stewards and heated marques because the provide their own. Less complication for me. They also offered me a venue if i havent found one yet but that we sorted out already. We came up with an ideal menu and they perfect way to arrange the tables to fit the event.

Black table clothes, black chairs and red roses on each table with yellow lite candle. Suttle and classy look. As seen above. The look is perfect for black tie charity diiner and dance.

WEEK 8
