The match made in heaven

Glenys - the driving force Chef Chris Jagger at work

"I have the best job in the world," says Glenys Chatterley with a twinkle in her eye; "I get paid to go to the best parties in town!"

Glenys is the driving force behind Morestan Event Management and Catering – and is a bundle of energy. She's absolutely passionate about her business; you'll see her organising menus, meeting clients and co-ordinating events, but she leaves the cooking to her Executive Chef, Chris Jagger, whose work has earned a Michelin star. And she leaves the service to her team who, she says, "are much better at that than I am."

However, if Glenys is project managing your event you'll find she takes over, so you don't need to. "The reason I'm there is so that the host doesn't have to worry; to make sure there are no hitches and those that might occur are rapidly sorted out so that the host and guests see nothing but a perfect occasion."

Chris Jagger is the other half of the match. His journey to the top of the culinary tree started at the age of 14 working in the local butcher's shop. After he'd been 'borrowed' to help out a local hostelry in the kitchen, he discovered a natural talent. Joining the Navy at 17 took him into the catering corps and developed his skills.

Since leaving Her Majesty's Service he has worked in a number of high profile roles, including managing 93 chefs in 17 locations during the Monte Carlo Rally. "I've cooked everything from an intimate dinner for two to a 7 course banquet for 10,000. I love the challenge and they're all different!"

With their highly trained team of chefs, waiting staff and bar service staff – you’ll find this pair delivers a unique and enthusiastic service that you'll want to use again and again.

Thank you for your help last week. It is very reassuring that you are a 'yes, that is possible' person, even though we were working at short notice with no backup facilities.

Top Tips
Preparing crabs and lobster
  • Shellfish should be very fresh and should be cooked the day you buy it. Cook it quickly and stop cooking before it becomes tough.
  • Always cook your crab in well-salted water with an aromatic garnish.
  • To open a crab or lobster claw use an old pair of scissors to cut along the ridge of the claw.
