They really are dancing for joy at contract caterer Bartlett Mitchell (BM).
Having won Caterer’s Best Places to Work in Hospitality title in their sector last week, the team at BM have also landed the Royal Thames Yacht Club in salubrious Knightsbridge as a client.
Reputed to be the oldest club of its type in the UK, the London base has two bars, reading rooms, a restaurant called the Coffee Room and “cabins” for those needing a place to weather any storm (or simply sleep).
This recent tide of success has had such a profound effect on BM creative director David James – a past UK champion Irish dancer no less – that he hasn’t been able to still his dancing feet since.
Kitchen Rat hears that the “King of the Step” even took part in an Irish Cahlie at a recent BM bash, showing his talents lie not just within catering but in Michael Flattery’s arena.
No confirmation as yet whether the routine will become part of all future tenders by the caterer, although it certainly sounds more fun then sitting through yet another PowerPoint presentation.
