NEW BANQUETING TIPS FROM THE EXPERTS

Banqueting is a stressful form of catering - serving top quality food to hundreds of diners at the same time is a logistical nightmare.  Banqueting expert chef Neil Moore-McCarthy of the Royal Armouries, Leeds, uses Moffat's Chillogen trolleys to deliver perfect food for events large and small.

E&R Moffat has enormous expertise in equipment for banqueting and has developed the Chillogen trolley, an all-in-one rapid chiller, fridge, regen oven and hot cupboard - and it's mobile!  It means chefs can plate up a cooked meal, put it in the Chillogen trolley and leave it until it's time to serve the food.  The trolley automatically looks after the chilling, storing and regenerating.  The Chillogen technology helped Moffat win the FCSI manufacturer of the year award in 2006.

WHEN THEY CAN’T SMOKE GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT

And for those who just can’t give up, the option is to offer outside dining facilities. All in all there is going to be an increased demand for food. More ...

Royal Armouries hooked on ‘brilliant’ Chillogen

Gary Calder, who together with his colleague Neil Moore-McCarthy runs the banqueting operation at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, says he’s an ‘old fashioned’ chef. So when it was suggested that the museum should install Moffat’s Chillogen banqueting trolleys, he wasn’t interested. “Never seen them. Didn’t want them,” Gary says succinctly. But then Gary and Neil were taken to see a demonstration in a hotel’s banqueting department and after talking through the pros and cons with the hotel chef they decided to give them a go.
