Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel is delighted to have been a
sponsor of the Shooting Stars Benefit, hosted by Samuel L Jackson.
Taking place over two days, a host of celebrities from both Hollywood
and the UK enjoyed a two-round competitive golf tournament at the
famous Wentworth Club. Teams were led by actors and professional
golfers including James and Oliver Phelps, Jesse Metcalfe, Jack Wagner,
Michael Bolton, Samuel L Jackson, Jamie Bamber, James Anderson and
Colin Montgomerie. The 3 day event started with a reception and dinner
at Aspreys, and rounded off with the Closing Ball at the Royal Courts
of Justice with a red carpet champagne reception, gala dinner and
auction and a live performance by an international artist.
Three colleagues from Jumeirah London, Ian
Richardson, acting GM Jumeirah Lowndes; Oliver Brown, Director of F&B and Clive
Doble, Director of Sales, were chosen to form the Jumeirah team for the golfing part
of the event, headed up by James Phelps of Harry Potter fame as their team captain.
For the Closing Ball, Simon Young and Andrew Freeman designed a menu that stayed
true to the essence of the hotel's food and beverage offering, focusing on the very
best of seasonal produce. To start, a tian of plum tomato and basil with warm
mozzarella fritters, the choice of a roast loin of Southdown lamb with butternut
squash puree, Scottish girolles and spring roll of braised leg or Beetroot
tortellini with roasted Mediterranean vegetables for main followed by Strawberry and
Pistachio Fraiser or dark chocolate "black forest" delice. Andrew Freeman was at
the event to ensure that the high standards of the Jumeirah Carlton Tower kitchen are maintained.
