Meet Alan Irwin of Day Events - another 'lockdown-accelerated' entrepreneurial venture. Alan is a chef with 24 years of experience in high end hotels and Michelin starred restaurants and started DAY Events as a side project whilst head chef at a hotel restaurant in Kent. Find out what it's like to run a food (...and wonderful moments) business!
DAY (Dinner At Yours) provides catering for big event occasions such as weddings and events, but what sets it apart, and where it all began, is the private dining side where you can book Alan and his team to come to you and cook you a delicious meal. It’s essentially bringing a Michelin star restaurant into your home. Besides preparing and cooking the food, he’ll bring all the crockery and cutlery and everything else that’s needed to make it a really special experience.
Important topics covered: chef life, hard graft and never switching off, being responsive to your clients needs, taking the leap, running a business from home with kids, managing the business when you are the product, brexit impact on hospitality, word of mouth success and social media cynicism, beware of scaling too much.
