Synopsis

BISCUITS, BANQUETS & BOLLINGER by Andrew Hill. Softback, 247mm x 174mm, ISBN: 9781906641603 This 384 page softback book explores in fascinating detail the many facets of the versatile company of Cater, Stoffell & Fortt, beloved by the citizens of Bath, Bristol and throughout the West Country for 150 years. It brings to life a company which was a byword for quality, service and variety, which excelled in confectionery, catering, grocery, fine wines & spirits, and the manufacture of the famous Bath Oliver biscuits - still enjoyed today by gourmets everywhere. The company - whose proud boast was that it offered everything from fish fingers to foie gras and custard powder to caviar - was as much a part of Bath life and landscape as the Abbey and the Pump Room. Biscuits, Banquets & Bollinger traces the company's rise and fall from its origins in the early 19th century to its eventual demise in the 1980s, with copious illustrations of the premises, products and people which made the firm a household name.
