Hello, I’m Ruth Brooks (Mrs B) your Function Co-ordinator.
I have been in catering for over thirty years, working my way from a cook at the
College of Home Economics in Bath, via
Bath University as Cook in Charge and Catering Manager at Wallington & Weston, Frome,
to Executive Catering Manager, Wiltshire County Council.
For seven years I catered at The Assembly Rooms, Frome and
looked after the Bars for the Memorial Theatre for all their shows.
I moved from there to the Frome Rugby Club for six months whilst
our new premises were being fitted out.
I still enjoy caterering at the Rugby Club, where
there are excellent facilities for parties and meetings.
Mrs B's now operates from specially converted premises on the outskirts of Frome
where I have achieved my ambition of having a purpose-built kitchen with
everything exactly as I would want, in order to give a first-class service to my customers.
Training:
City and Guilds 706/1/2, Further Education Teaching Certificate,
Advanced Hygiene Diploma, and Marketing Management.
A brief resumé of catering experience:
Countless banquets, wedding receptions, christenings and funerals and Royal visits.
At such venues as Longleat, Hampworth Lodge and Marston House.
Haute Cuisine at Cheney Court Hotel.
Summer Solstice catering for the Police, High Sheriff’s garden parties,
Hunt Balls. Bristol City Museum Catering,
Bath City High School Student Catering. Teaching Sixth Form Students B.Tech.
Whatever the size of function, I pride myself in offering a complete service
of the highest standard, but with that personal touch.
Ruth Brooks
