A LEADING restaurateur company has expanded his empire after taking over the catering at two council-run venues.
Oldfields Events, recently set up by restaurant owner Bill Oldfield, has won the catering contracts for Peterlee’s Shotton Hall and the new £1m Seaham Town Hall.
Mr Oldfield, managing director of Oldfields restaurant in Durham, said he plans to build business at Seaham Town Hall by promoting it for weddings, conferences and events.
He said: “There has been a massive investment in the building and it’s a real asset to the town.
“The facilities are fantastic and the rooms are very versatile so we’ll be able to host a whole range of events there.
“We’ll also be offering the highest standards of catering with a first class food operation and we know this will be something that will not only bring business to the town hall but also to the town in general.”
