Bolly Darlings Dish out at Destination Dining!

We had great fun on Wednesday 14th July at the official launch of Destination Dining at centre:mk.  Before you get too excited we should stress though that these are not our regular staff uniforms! 

We had the pleasure of working with 3 ladies from Bolly Darlings who were brought in by the centre:mk organisers – they even bring their own perspex trays (and little else judging by the costumes), which once loaded up with canapes provide good theatre and a talking point for guests. 

The Destination Dining launch event was held in a plush marquee in Queen’s Court, transformed with cool white bars, uplit seating cubes…and a vibrant pink floor!

We started the day early if not bright at 8 am with a hot and cold bite sized breakfast, juices and Illy caffe offered to retailers and trade guests. 

At lunchtime we served a 3 course circulated lunch with savoury and sweet canapes and hot bowl food, followed by an afternoon tea incorporating a selection of miniature patisserie from restaurants in the new dining quarter. 

The event culminated in a drinks and canape reception in the evening for 150 VIPs and local stakeholders and a ribbon-cutting display which involved letting off hundreds of balloons tied to the marquee.  It looked like a scene from Pixar’s ‘Up!’

We also successfully trialled our latest bit of coffee equipment from our friends at Illy caffe, enabling us to serve frothy cappucinos and milk lattes on demand throughout the day.  We love Illy!
