20th Anniversary Dinner

03 October 2011

George, Charlie and Adam hosted a dinner on 20th September which was the 20th anniversary of the very first recorded Fresh Olive sale. One of the guests was Bill Goodall, the proprietor of the deli in Oxford, Fasta Pasta, that was the customer on that first invoice. He was joined by a brigade of some of the business’s oldest and most distinguished chef customers and Andrew Cavanna from Selfridges Food Hall. Rowley Leigh, Henry Harris, Paul Merrett, Helena Puolakka, Tim Hughes, Peter Gordon, Joel Antunes, Sam Clarke, Emma Kelly and host Mark Hix were amongst the revellers at Mark’s Bar, the cocktail bar basement at Hix in Brewer Street that was transformed with the flipping of a few table tops into an incredibly elegant and intimate dining venue. We’re deeply indebted to Mark and head chef Kevin for a fantastic menu that found some truly inspirational new ways of showcasing Fresh Olive products.
