Sunday 16th July saw a group of Founder members and Honourees meet up for lunch at the Michelin-starred restaurant The Cross, housed in a Grade 2 19th century inn, in the historic town of Kenilworth in the heart of Warwickshire.
A time for long term members to network, catch up and reflect on times gone by and remember those who are no longer with us or have lost contact with the BCF.
After a Laurent Perrier Champagne Reception, members sat down to an outstanding lunch cooked by Chef Director Adam Bennett and his team, along with excellent service from the front of house team.
