WE L C O M E SU M M E RAt last we can look forward to summer. The spring may have been a long time in coming but it has meant that weve had

the full benefit of our fabulous displays of tulips and we have never had so many great comments.

ur gardens are one o the special pleasures o visiting us over

the next ew months. Marc Everett o Horizon Landscapes is

our Che de Jardin and he and his team remain somewhat unsung

heroes. Their hard work and passion ensure that our gardens are

stunning, so do come and see them.

The winter is o course, the time when we do most o our big capital

projects and once again there has been no let up on our investment

programme. All the public areas at milsoms Kesgrave Hall and

milsoms Dedham have been re-carpeted and the painters have

been much in evidence everywhere, but o course the big news here

is the abulous remodelling o Le Talbooth. Designed by my wie

Geraldine, I am bound to be biased, but we have been thrilled withthe response rom all our customers. Changing a restaurant with as

much history as Le Talbooth is a potential banana skin and I had a

number o worried conversations with customers in the run up to

the big change. However, we have rarely created a new design that

has been so immediately liked, and by all ages too.

This resh new look is the perect platorm or the incredibly

exciting cooking o Head Che Zack Deakins, who has just

completed his rst year with us, and means Le Talbooth is the areas

newest restaurant rather than the oldest. In act why not make it

the perect evening to remember by staying at Maison Talbooth,which has just been named by the Independent as one o the top

10 Luxury Hotels in Britain. I you are dining in the week we oten

have some antastic last minute room rates, and with the barbecue

summer ahead why not come enjoy our pool as well?

Look orward to seeing you soon.

AL L S E T F OR S UM M E R

At this time o year we all eel optimistic about the

summer ahead and were sure its time or a hot

one! Our business is great at all times o the year,

BUT it does come into its own during the summer

months. The combination o our gardens, outsideseating and all day dining at the brasseries lends

itsel to relaxing summer days.

The addition of the iconic sails at milsoms

in Dedham, Le Talbooth and Kesgrave

Hall make dining outside a reality whatever

the weather helped by some strategically

placed heaters!

2013 A BRAND NEW LO OK FOR LE TALBOOTH

2012 was the 60th anniversary of our business and we recognised this important milestone in a number of ways

throughout the year. However, we felt that it was fitting to also mark the occasion at Le Talbooth, where our

business began, with a major reinvestment into the entire customer facing areas to start the next sixty years in style.

BROADBAND REVOLUTION

AT KESGRAVE HALL

milsoms Kesgrave Hall is installing the astest,

cleanest broadband in the UK.

In an exciting partnership with Cisco, theexisting telephone system is being upgraded to

allow guests to receive and place calls without

liting the handset. These sets are video capable

and voice over internet (VOP) will allow or

state o the art conerence calls with no eedback

or crossover during call. The broadband speed

will increase substantially rom the existing

2/4MB service to an amazing 120MB+.

This will mean extended coverage in the hotel

and grounds, allowing guests to sit on the lawn

or terrace and stay connected using all types o

device, whether smart phone, tablet or laptop.

Video conerencing can be set up in the meeting

rooms. For example, we could hold wine tasting

in the Bunker and include producers rom New

Zealand and/or Chile to introduce their wines

while they were being tasted. The Cisco system

will revolutionise corporate business at Kesgrave

Hall, and will also enhance the acilities we oerto our leisure guests.

I you need to know more, call the Kesgrave

team on 01473 333741. Dont orget that Wi-Fi

is ree at all our hotels and restaurants as it

should be!Stevyn Nash
