Garry was delighted with the end result and our team were pleased to provide him with a website which provided him with a solution to all his requirements. In order to get maximum web exposure, Garry is posting recipes onto the site which serves as a resource for cooks and also ensures a regular flow of new content to the site which appeals to the search engines. If you enter ‘beef meatballs with mozzarella’ into Google search, Garry ranks second only to the mighty BBC site!!

Luckily for Garry we were able to draw on our experience at designing websites for the catering industry. Our latest website for The Fox Goes Free is a prime example of how effective a website can be as a marketing tool. We originally designed the Fox Goes Free website about three years ago, but the owners recently re-enlisted our services to give their website a complete new look. The Fox is a country pub near Goodwood serving high quality pub food and renowned in the local area for its live music.

For this project we needed to concentrate on three key areas: conveying the vibrancy and convivial ambience of the pub, supplying all the information in a clear format and ensuring that the website is found by the search engines. To give an impression of the lively atmosphere which makes the Fox so special, we designed a ‘news and events’ page to advertise forthcoming gigs, special offers and theme nights as well as a ‘scrapbook’ page where the owners can post images and text relating to past events. These constant updates advertise the pub online, keep the website looking up-to-date and boost rankings with the Search Engines. The information pages all have the same layout with room for any amount of text and also a large image to illustrate the page content. To make the site as informative as possible for the user, the opening hours and food serving times are clearly displayed on every page along with the address and contact details. This means that a casual visitor is immediately presented with the key information.

Entering ‘pub near Goodwood’ into Google results in The Fox being fourth on the list, which is a great result in a very competitive area. In other words The Fox’s website is working as hard for them as it possibly can.

Oracle Catering Services

I have known Garry Wilberforce for just under 20 years. I have worked alongside him during this time, and he has also worked directly for me in the capacity of Executive Sous Chef at the Hilton in Milton Keynes.

During his time in Milton Keynes, he was awarded with departmental trainer of the year. He was nominated many times for employee of the month, which is a true testament to his character and team spirit.

Garry has shown great flexibility in his work in different sectors, from managing a Public Houses, to a 4* Hilton property. He is quick to adapt to new environments, and is a highly capable individual. He is positive in the face of any challenge.

During the time I have known him, I had the opportunity to call upon Garry, with confidence, for some consultation work at the Hilton Southampton. This specifically included menu engineering and planning. His work was well planned, executed and efficient.

He is a very hardworking, consistent person who possesses a great passion for the industry. Garry shows professionalism in every sense, and has achieved a great deal in his career. I would have no hesitations in working with him again, or recommending him for any new projects.

I have had the pleasure of working with Garry for the last two years and it that time I have found him to be a true professional. His dedication and commitment is outstanding to any role he takes on, his culinary skills are excellent as is his innovation. He sets himself very high targets which he invariably achieves.

Garry is also a keen team player and everyone he works with, without exception, enjoys working with him and learning from him.
