I have worked with Gesine of MBS for over 15 years now, mostly when I was leading the F&B operations within hotel groups. With her help we innovated and successfully repositioned our Breakfast and M&E offers, culminating in winning AA Hotel Group of the Year with Guoman and Thistle Hotels in 2012. More recently, I enlisted Gesine to help me with a VIP event in a leading Independent Girls School. Gesine met me at the School and we ran through the event, the menus, the drinks, the locations and the subtle yet sophisticated look wanted. I then presented to the Head the mock up provided by Gesine; the Head loved it and said Yes. The event was a fantastic success, many visiting Independent Head Teachers commented on the stylish presentation and the food naturally. There is only one person I trust to support me for such events and clients, and that is Gesine at Merlin Buffet Solutions; thank you.

Just what I needed
We were in urgent need of a soup chafing dish and reached out to Merlin Buffet Systems. We have used them before and had good experiences. I requested a proposal online and received it within a few hours. We could immediately asked questions and Chelsie was very helpful in getting back to us via email quickly. We decide what we needed and ordered next day. The item arrived very quickly and is just stunning. Very high quality, good value for money. They even dropped a follow up email to ensure everything was fine.

I have been working with Gesine at Merlin for some time now having built up a strong and successful relationship since our preopening period in 2010. Gesine is great at procuring very specific and bespoke items that I may be looking for in regard to presentation ware for breakfast, conference and banqueting.
Once briefed Merlin will turn around ideas in a matter of days which is great now that I have multiple hotels to look after.
I look forward to working with Gesine and her team on Corinthia’s expansion within Europe, The Middle East and America.

I have worked with Jon Garcka and Jodie Garcka at Merlin on many occasions with Marriott and more recently on the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games with Sodexo Prestige. Their consistent approach to the project was based on a partnership to develop and execute a solution for equipment for high profile guests. They were also involved in developing a bespoke solution for the client and this was done with ease, finesse and the end product exceeded all expectations. It is safe to say that I will be using Merlin again for my catering solutions.

During the opening of Corinthia Hotel London, I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction with the team at Merlin Buffet System. We briefed Gesine on very specific items (not part of their normal product range), and she was very successful in sourcing and supplying these at very competitive prices. I was also impressed with the flexibility shown, when we had to change delivery slots at short notice.
I would recommend any buyer and Operator to familiarise themselves with Merlin Buffet Systems .
