Giancarlo & Katie Caldesi entertain the guests
In the words of Frankie Valli oh what a night! Our kitchen opening last night with the Caldesi’s Giancarlo and his lovely wife Katie was a roaring success. Gordon, Danny and the rest of the Jolly Team worked seamlessly together with Katie and Giancarlo to produce some excellent dishes in a one off, cook off last night. Gordon and Giancarlo in the same kitchen for one night only. The Jolly was virtually bursting at the seams as people poured in to sample the nights cuisine. Thank you if you were one of those people who came along and supported us. Thanks also to our VIP guests who found time at the end of a busy week to celebrate with us. Special thanks must go to the Caldesi’s and their boys who jumped in a car and came straight to Orford after a hectic week in the City. Giancarlo and Katie literally arrived, dropped their bags, put on their chef whites and started cooking – thank you so much both of you. If you’d like to see if we snapped you take a look at our facebook page for the full album of photos, you can also check out the next issue of Places & Faces magazine which features the Jolly in their society pages. We do it all again next month when our sister restaurant The Jolly Scholar in Cambridge reopens after is massive rebuild and refurbishment. If you’d like to be included on the guest list for that night, email hello@thejollysailor.net. Big thanks to all the Jolly front of house team, who worked their socks off all night, ferrying dishes and drinks back and forth through a very large crowd of people, and still managed to smile throughout! Thanks finally to Nick Raison for providing the musical ambiance throughout the night and for those of you who kindly donated to our chosen charity this year The Thomas Marshall Education Fund, your contributions will help literally 100′s of children in Africa enjoy education. If you’d like a personal tour of our new facilities or just to join us for lunch or dinner to sample our award winning menu in a relaxed and friendly environment, do come along and visit us. Warm welcome always assured. Dogs and children welcome if accompanied by well behaved adults.
