Luke Whitney, the estate manager at Walcot Hall, said: “We’re excited to appoint Caviar & Chips as resident caterers for our weddings and events. 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 more than 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.” For more information, visit www.walcothall.co.uk and www.caviarandchips.co.uk THE PERFECT CELEBRATION QHotels has launched a new concept called Little Big Weddings to help couples who have had to postpone their wedding due to COVID-19.
