Chef, George Arnott has just celebrated a thirty year milestone at the Red House Hotel in Coupar Angus. With front of house Carol Anne Keys having celebrated thirty years’ service last year at the family run Hotel, this time it’s the turn of George who joined the hotel iln 1994.
Originally from Crieff, fifty nine year old father of three George trained as a chef at Perth College, remaining in the career ever since. A lifelong food passion for George is all types of Scottish Game. He loves cleaning, preparing, and cooking for the Red House Hotel’s many shooting parties. But when pressed on his own favourite meal, George plumps for mince and tatties, good old-fashioned Scottish comfort food!
As a collector of whisky decanters, George was delighted to receive one as his long service gift from Red House Hotel owner, Alan Bannerman.
“I’m delighted to be celebrating thirty years here at the Red House Hotel,” said George. “I very much enjoy working here. We have a great team of people, and yes, we are known for being loyal and sticking around as the Bannerman family are fantastic employers.”
Commenting on George’s thirty years of service, Red House Hotel owner, Alan Bannerman said, “George is another stalwa
rt of the Hotel – he’s in with the fixtures and fittings now, just like many of my other long-term staff members, such as Carol Anne, and my Assistant Manager Sarah Cooper, who is just behind them both in terms of time worked here.”
“They really are fantastic employees, and I’m so grateful to them all for the loyal service. George is someone who is always smiling, and never lets us down with his enthusiasm and hard work ethic. My congratulations go to him from all of the family. We are delighted to award him this decanter to mark his 30 years. We are very pleased to hear that he says he has no plans to retire yet either! That is very good news for everybody who enjoys his food!”
