The last post was a warm-up for the main event – covering the full-on catering work that goes on behind the scenes at Wembley Stadium.
The FA Cup Legends Lunch on 4 May featured a three course sit-down followed by an afternoon of entertainment provided by special guests Peter Reid, Gerard Houllier and Gus Poyet, and presided over by Jim Rosenthal.
Turning out top restaurant quality food for over 500 guests all at the same time is no mean feat, but executive head chef, Frank Coghlan took it all in his stride, organising operations with military precision. Even though this lunch was a big do, it was just a warm-up for Frank, who was also going to be catering for a packed stadium for the FA Cup Final the next day ranging from gourmet burgers and pizzas for the punters to full sit down lunches for the Club Wembley members.
