About George Goes Out

WEDDING CATERERS AND EVENTS

Michelle Hale

---

Founder & Director

A career spanning 20 years in hospitality, Michelle started in pubs and hotels both UK based and internationally. A variety of roles from Assistant Manager for Fullers Pubs London to Front of House for the global private members group SoHo House.
 
Whilst in London Michelle moved from the hospitality operations to a more project-led role, working for a hospitality consultancy firm heading up projects and organising hospitality events.
 
The time came to leave London to set up a business, her dream business with husband Phil and business partner Chippy.
Together they purchased the George and Dragon in Rowde and were very quickly awarded 2 AA rosettes & an Egon Ronay Star.
 
George Goes Out was born from the absolute success of the George and Dragon and ultimately the demand from clientele to replicate the quality, style and character of the unique offering for private events. Michelle now concentrates solely on George Goes Out but is also a qualified trainer, assessor and CIPD qualified – just in case the day job wasn’t enough!
