I N T H E K I T C H E N W I T H
JAMES PARSONS
James Parsons from Langstone Quays Resort is a real force to be reckoned with!
From royalty to rock stars, he has thrilled in the some of the finest kitchens in
the world.
He began cooking professionally at just 15 and a half. Starting a three year
apprenticeship in the British Armed Forces, he studied foundational classic
French Cuisine and Food Science and went on to be chef to The Chief of Defence
and then Military Chef at Clarence House, for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth,
The Queen Mother.
With such an exciting career, we had to find out more from the talented chef.
James picks up the story:
6

In the Kitchen

"After the Armed Forces, I continued to work
in London, cooking in many Michelin starred
establishments including A-Z Restaurants
headed by Marco Pierre White. I also worked
in France with the three time Michelin star
Chef Roger Verge, at Moulin de Mougins, one of
France's most prominent restaurants.
"I really enjoyed my career path and I learnt so
much. Cooking has taken me around the world
and given me the chance to cook for some of the
world’s most famous people, from rock stars like
Ringo Star of the Beatles, to members of other
Royal families, Prime Ministers, politicians and
world leaders.
"I have worked in Thailand, Tanzania, Canada,
the Middle East, France, Switzerland and
Germany. My passion for food remains as strong
today as it did during my first days in a kitchen.
I’ve learnt more about food from conversations
with people, rather than working endless hours
in a kitchen."
James' passion is infectious and for the last 12
years he's been sharing his skills in supporting
The Rotary Organisations Young Chef of the
Year and the Springboard Charity for developing
young chefs. He explains:
"My other passion is developing young chefs and
giving them the chances, skills and practises that
will lead to a career and a lasting love of food.
"I also work with UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency)
8

In the Kitchen
training and coaching displaced families that
need career skill opportunities to help make
them employable in the Middle East areas and
East Africa. I've been doing this for the last ten
years and it has taught me more about food than
anything else."
James' philosophy at Langstone Hotel is valuing
the basics. He explains:
strawberries or Asparagus on the menu in winter.
He continues:
"We don’t over manipulate ingredients and
we try to keep dish integrity a core value.
We do acknowledge modern techniques
and food science, but only in the capacity to
enhance flavour and presentation. Not as a
trendy gimmick.
"Make an amazing sandwich, make the
perfect soup, and make the simple things
effortlessly well!"
With this in mind, his team subscribe to the
same ethos; taste is the single most important
thing, followed by seasonality. You won’t find
"All the dishes on our a la carte menu are
derived from the team. They plan, draw, trial
and experiment on a dish. Perhaps they
will present it a few times before the whole
team agrees that it is good enough to sit
alongside the other dishes on the menu.
The created ownership of these dishes allows
01775 843410 Monday to Friday, 8.30am - 5.30pm
9

them to be a truly memorable experience and
that is the reason people eat out.
"Collectively we have learnt to do lots of little
things well. This is the philosophy of the kitchen
team."
James is the first to say the team are hugely
influenced by what grows seasonally. When fruit
and vegetables in the area are in abundance,
they have the pick of ingredients on Hayling
Island, including potatoes, carrots and brassicas.
The hotel is next to a dairy, which along with
milk, produces clotted cream and Northney Farm
Ice Cream.
Local ingredients don't end there for the two AA
Rosette award-winning kitchen. He continues:
"Our proximity to the sea and being on a small
island gives us the chance to buy local line
caught fish and crustaceans, including lobster
from Langstone Harbour. When in season, we
love to indulge in the soft fruits and berries
available at various small holdings and farms.
There is nothing better than sun ripened
strawberries that only travel a walking distance
to the kitchen!
"We use an abundance of sea herbs and
sea vegetables that we have learnt to forage
for ourselves. These are often seen on the
menus where fish is the main course and it’s
an enjoyable walk around the estuary during
breaks as well as being informative for the
10

In the Kitchen
chefs to collect and learn about the seasons
and real local foods."
With great ingredients, superb team work and
inspiring leadership from Chef James, we're
certain delegates, corporate clients and leisure
guests are assured of a memorable experience at
Langstone Quays Resort.
The hotel has nine conference and meeting
rooms, with a maximum capacity of 160
delegates. High specification audio and visual
equipment is available along with free WiFi so
delegates can stay connected. Team-building
activities can be arranged in the hotel grounds
and there is a lifestyle health and leisure club for
24-hour delegates to enjoy.

Waste not. Help more!
As a busy venue hosting events on a daily
basis, the team at H Suite pride themselves
on working with outstanding caterers and
focussing on the best food Birmingham has
to offer.
Never a fan of waste, the team at the H Suite
have started an initiative to ensure that
any leftover food from the venue is used by
helping the most vulnerable people in their
community. They have teamed up with Let's
Feed Brum, a Birmingham based organisation
who provide food, clothing and bedding for
those in the city who either have no home or
are in temporary accommodation.
The organisation’s aim is to reach people
who are in these situations and support
them through conversations. The figures tell
the story:
• 80-100 people come to their soup kitchen
every single night
• 700 hot meals are served every single week
• Over 50 sleeping bags are handed out
every week
• Roughly 40,000 hot drinks are served
every year.
Sanjay Datwani CEO of the H Suite said:
“We’re so pleased to be able to help this
important cause and the volunteers who give
so much of their time to help people in need in
our city.”
The H Suite recently made their first donation
and, alongside their catering partners, are
looking forward to continuing their donations
as the even more challenging winter
months approach.

With excellent rail and road networks, getting the team from the north in the same
room as the team from the south is so much easier when everyone comes together in
the middle! Deciding on the perfect venue to host your event isn't so easy. City centre
hotels, country mansions, sports stadiums and iconic landmark buildings create
an impressive list of possibilities. Do you pick the place with an inspiring sporting
connection, head to the hotel with award-winning food or opt for the newest event
space in the business block?
To make the decision making process a little less daunting, we've selected seven
individual venues providing exciting space, superb facilities and excellent service.
They also deliver that 'something extra' to make your event in the Midlands a
memorable one.

For an award-winning experience, the
Ramada Park Hall Hotel and Spa offers a
refreshing mix of old and new. The Grade II
listed Georgian mansion sits in one of the
most beautiful parts of the West Midlands and
has succeeded in marrying the traditional,
lavish mansion-style hotel experience with
contemporary design, excellent guest services
and delicious on-site dining.
28

Meet in the Middle
The sheer size of this venue means
accommodating groups is never a problem
and the team are well versed in planning
and delivering large-scale business meetings
and weddings. The Ballroom is the biggest
space, welcoming up to 550 guests while the
split-level Orangery, a recent addition to the
venue's conference facilities, welcomes up to 80
delegates to a light and airy, flexible space.
If you need an intimate setting away from the
main event, The Ednam seats up to ten. Large
Georgian windows let natural daylight in to the
first floor room, which, with its period artwork,
leather executive seating and tasteful décor, is
ideal for a board room meeting.
And, if you're looking for the best curry in
Wolverhampton, you're in the right place!
Anju's has a reputation for a superb dining
experience. Guests can enjoy local and
sustainable ingredients in a mix of traditional
and contemporary Indian cooking; it's heavenly
and worth booking on a 24-hour delegate rate
just so you can book a table!
