SUMMER 

IN THE CITY 

If you have a meeting or event to plan 

in a city location you may want to 

consider a venue which has a rooftop 

bar, restaurant or courtyard space.

good factor into a delegate’s day is a 

great incentive to improve productivity 

and stimulate success plus organisers 

have the beauty of the additional 

outdoor space to use for networking, 

breakout areas, receptions and 

al fresco refreshments.

A Day in the Life 

A Day in the Life of... 

Tina Cadby 

Executive Housekeeper, Strand Palace Hotel. 

The historic Strand Palace Hotel enjoys an enviable 

position right at the heart of London’s West End, 

with easy access to the financial centre of the City, 

just minutes away. 

For Tina Cadby, the hotel’s executive housekeeper, the 

journey to work is longer but evidently worth it given 

her huge affection for the hotel where she’s worked for 

almost twenty years. 

Based in Carshalton in Surrey, she gets up at ten to 

four every morning, to make sure she’s at her desk at 

the Strand by ten to six. “The journey gives me a bit of 

peace, because it’s the first tube out, I always get a seat. 

Then I get my Kindle out and get absorbed in a book, 

take my mind off everything until I get to work.” 

The commute is an oasis of tranquility before a 

non-stop day. “The first thing I do on getting to work 

is to catch up with everything that happened the 

evening before, whether there were any incidents or 

issues that haven’t been dealt with overnight. It gives 

me an immediate picture of the jobs that need doing, 

what tasks I need to give the team for the day, which 

rooms are ready for departure. I make a list of jobs for 

the maintenance team, make sure all the maids and 

housekeepers and everyone else is in place.” 

Tina oversees a sizeable team, responsible for 

the upkeep of 785 guest rooms and a dedicated 

conference floor, catering for both leisure and 

business guests. It’s a job with a daunting scale of 

juggling logistics and expectations while maintaining 

high standards. Years of experience make it easier. 

“I’ve been here for almost two decades, and I’ve 

been in the industry for over thirty years.” 

“I started as a room attendant then progressed 

through the ranks to deputy housekeeper and now 

executive housekeeper. I’ve always known it’s the 

right job for me. It’s satisfying to start at the bottom 

and work your way up because I have a real 

understanding of all the roles. I know how everyone 

works, I appreciate how hard each job is, from 

bottom to top, because I’ve done it and got the t-shirt.” 

After delegating the outstanding tasks of the day, 

it’s time for advance planning. We’re speaking in 

the days leading up to the Royal Wedding and the 

FA Cup Final, so she knows already that the hotel is 

fully booked for that weekend. “I know that the road 

will be closed to traffic that weekend. So I need to 

work out now what we’ll do about linen deliveries, 

which is a challenge but we have to meet it. That’s 

the kind of thing you need to plan in advance, 

and because I have a good team in place and can 

delegate, I do have more time for forward planning.” 

Once all the checking and double-checking has taken 

25

place, Tina heads out from her office to inspect the 

floors. “That takes me from 9am to 2pm, doing spot 

checks, making sure all the rooms are as they should 

be, that all the maintenance required has been done, 

that everything works.” 

We ask if she then pauses for a spot of lunch. 

“I never go out for lunch or to the canteen. I always 

have a working lunch at my desk. That might sound silly 

but I never have time. I know people say you should 

make time, but there’s not enough time in the day. 

Especially as the spot checks take time and then I have 

to deal with paperwork and invoices in the afternoon.” 

But surely she must feel the urge to nip out for a 

coffee or a stroll? She laughs. “You must be joking. 

Never a stroll, however short, I walk miles here 

within the hotel every day. It keeps me really fit. 

When I go on holiday I really notice the difference 

after two weeks of not running about.” 

As Tina finishes at 4pm most days, she’s left with just 

two hours to deal with invoices, to check the staff rotas 

are in place for the next day and the evening staff is 

in. It’s an especially busy period for the hotel as the 

guest rooms are currently undergoing a substantial 

refurbishment, so Tina has to plan around that, with 

all the extra attention to detail that entails. 

Then there are requests from guests, which vary from 

requests for fresh air, or discovering that they have 

left anything from a mobile charger in their room to a 

significant amount of money in the safe or forgotten 

their passport and not realising until they’re at 

the airport. 

26

Dealing with guests is an aspect Tina enjoys. “People 

are spending time and money staying with us, so 

I want to make sure they have a good experience. 

I love meeting different people and some of them 

come back year after year, ask after you and come 

and have a chat.” 

Getting feedback from visitors is the most rewarding 

part of the experience for Tina. “It’s always great when 

we get nice comments, about how sparkling clean 

the rooms are, or that they’ve loved the service, that 

the staff have been friendly.” 

If she were staying at the hotel as a guest, Tina says 

she would enjoy a long meal at the legendary Carvery. 

“It’s wonderful, all of it, from the presentation to 

the quality of the roasts. The Carvery has been here 

since year dot, and evolved with the hotel, but it’s 

still traditional, still old-fashioned, and our guests 

enjoy that aspect and so do I. After that I’d go to 

our glamorous Gin Palace bar for a few cocktails, 

definitely. And I’d certainly take in a show, our 

location is so fantastic for theatres, you can’t beat it.“ 

The Strand Palace Hotel has a range of 

conference and meeting rooms available for 

up to 250 delegates. Room hire rates start at 

£150 for a half day and delegate packages 

start from £60. Find out more >>

SUMMER 

IN THE COUNTRY 

From the famous white cliffs of Dover to the stunning Scottish Highlands via 

the beautiful Lake District, the British countryside charms with its rolling 

hills, meadows, fields of corn, ancient oak trees and pretty picture postcard 

villages. Sprawling country estates and purpose-built conference centres are 

popular year long destinations but there’s something extra special about a 

summertime meeting or event held in the countryside. 

With opportunities for organised team-building activities, client entertainment 

and corporate away-days, business in the country is also the perfect time to 

mix in a little pleasure at the end of a fruitful day.

I N T H E K I T C H E N W I T H 

Michael Batters 

Michael Batters is head chef at Lion Quays Hotel and Spa in Shropshire. It’s a unique venue situated 

between historic Chester to the east and Snowdonia National Park to the west. The Llangollen Canal flows 

by and the breathtaking engineering feat of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct stands proud across the River Dee. 

The Waterside Bar and Restaurant sits alongside the hotel and has a hugely popular outdoor terrace 

overlooking the canal and the hotel’s colourful walled garden. 

We managed to get Michael out of the kitchen just long enough for a quick catch-up!

Q: What made you want to be a chef? 

My parents owned a small guest house so I was 

involved with food preparation from a young age. 

Q: How long have you been head chef at 

Lion Quays? 

Eight months. 

Q: Who or what inspires your cooking? 

My family inspire me to be a success so I can make 

them proud. 

Q: What are your go-to ingredients? 

Salt, butter, rosemary and thyme. 

Q: What’s proving to be the most popular 

dish this month and why do you think that is? 

Slow cooked shin of English Beef is very popular. 

It melts in the mouth and is accompanied by 

caramelised onion and a red wine jus. It’s a delicious 

flavour combination. 

Q: Do you have any stand out dishes or 

packages which are popular with corporate 

guests? 

We have a very diverse menu that suits both 

corporate and leisure guests alike, whether it’s tapas 

on the terrace or a gourmet burger in a room. 

Q: What options are available for bigger 

events such as celebrations, parties and 

conferences? 

I like to keep the standard consistently high across 

the kitchen so the options available are very similar 

to our a la carte dishes. 

Q: What can you offer clients looking for a 

fine-dining experience? How do you make 

the occasion unique and how do you get the 

right combination of food and drink? 

We have quality meat and fish from local suppliers 

and I like to keep up-to-date with flavours which are 

in fashion. Our best dishes can be accompanied by 

wines selected by our Bar Manager / Sommelier. 

44

In the Kitchen with... 

Q: Do you use locally sourced ingredients 

and produce, and does this change 

seasonally? What would you recommend 

for a small scale meeting in the summer 

compared to the winter? Would it vary? 

Our menu changes each season so we are able to 

use the best of what is local to us where possible. 

The options for delegates attending a meeting in 

the summer would be much lighter than a 

conference lunch in winter months. 

Q: What three reasons would you give event 

organisers to choose Lion Quays for their 

next event? 

Quality of food and the menus available plus the 

hospitality and friendliness of all the team. 

Q: Are there any interesting facts about the 

history of the hotel which would interest 

our readers? 

We were recently awarded an AA Rosette for the 

Waterside Restaurant which was the first time in the 

hotel’s history. 

The resort was the first in the UK to have a snow 

cave in our spa thermal suite. 

The hotel is situated on the Llangollen Canal, part of 

which is included in the UNESCO world heritage list. 

Lion Quays Hotel and Spa offers event organisers 

and meeting bookers a choice of eight rooms and 

suites. The Lion Suite is the largest and welcomes 

up to 400 delegates for a theatre style event or 

330 for a dinner and dance. 

Meeting rooms are themed around parliament 

with the Cabinet Room, Westminster Room, No.10 

and No.11 providing an inspiring backdrop for 

delegates to discuss, debate and brain storm!
