What a VIP Night Entails https://thequeenshead-foulsham.co.uk/what-a-vip-night-entails/ Fri, 23 Nov 2018 12:29:06 +0000 https://thequeenshead-foulsham.co.uk/?p=19 Every restaurant wants to make its customers feel important. However, big spenders, the regulars and some friends of the staff expect special treatment in the form of custom foods, free cocktails or a better table during specific events. The best restaurants have mastered the art of providing VIP treatment without making other guests feels like second-tier customers. It begins with the old-fashioned red carpet entrance to the restaurant. It does not have to be the cliché red but something that will make your guests feel like VIPs. Next, you need to assign a special table to the guests. Here’s an overview of what entails VIP treatment.

The Meals

Usually, the chef takes note of that table in case a guest wants special off-menu items. They’ll also go the extra mile of cooking delicious food with impeccable presentation. Less formal events may offer a self-service buffet. All guests are expected to take the meals when seated. The beverage menu should be exceptional; instead of serving regular wines, experiment with sour beer and tangy brews usually paired with food. Interesting accompaniments like the recently discovered charcoal cocktail may just create an edge for the VIP occasion. The rule of the thumb for any VIP occasion is to keep the drinks replenished; guests should not keep on beckoning waitresses for additions.

Fun Activities

Include exciting activities that will turn heads to make the VIP experience epic. Of course, it depends on the crowd you are hosting. Some people prefer a fire pit and others may want an ice sculpture while high-end online casino games entice a group of wealthy individuals.

The Environment

VIP treatment is more about how you make the customer feel, and the environment significantly contributes to this experience. You can use music to create the right mood for the occasion. It should match the volume, depending on whether you want to create a calm background for interaction, a dance party or a rock concert. The temperature also affects the overall VIP experience; if you are hosting the party during a hot month, keep the room cool.

The Best of British Food https://thequeenshead-foulsham.co.uk/the-best-of-british-food/ Tue, 18 Sep 2018 13:55:46 +0000 https://thequeenshead-foulsham.co.uk/?p=11 British food has long been the criticism of many a foodie, starting off with the lack of variety, the overcooked veggies and the amount of gravy used. Some also believe it is all about kebabs, curries and fish and chips. However, there is more to the British culinary world than many may believe. The traditional food cooked at pubs, village festivals and even on Sunday family dining tables is, indeed, what makes Britain a strong contender in being one of the top countries in delivering authentic cuisine. England, Scotland and Wales grant you not just British delicacies, but also an explosion of flavour that will tantalise your taste buds. Let us have a look at what makes British food legendary.

Food Variations and What to Look Out For

One cannot visit England without indulging in a traditional Sunday roast dinner. This outstanding dish is normally chicken, beef or pork, slow-cooked to achieve the ultimate taste. It comes coupled with roasted potatoes, caramelised veggies and topped off with a splash of gravy. Scooping up the leftovers with Yorkshire puddings is the ultimate climax to a great dining experience. Sunday roast has and always will be a firm favourite. A Scottish variation is haggis, a savoury pudding composed of sheep’s heart, liver, and lungs, minced with oats, onions and a combination of spices to grant you a mind-blowing tasty experience. Gravy compliments this dish, which is found in pubs, serving Scottish food, and it can also be found in supermarkets. Haggis is indeed to die for!

UK Food Variations Continued…

The food journey continues in Wales, which is known for Welsh rarebit. This is a variation on cheese on toast and often contains cheese, eggs, ale, English mustard and other seasonings. Don’t forget to try a slice or two of bara brith, a delectable fruity bread eaten with butter. The UK has more mentionable dishes to celebrate British food, however, listing them all here would take centuries. The British know their way around the kitchen, and we culinary enthusiasts stand back, smile and wait at the table for the next dish that Britain has to offer. A journey to a British village promises a full tummy, a smile and some tasty recipes to try at home. Britain is a paradise for food fanatics and devotees.
