By: The Chester Grosvenor The luxury event on February 11 captured the glamorous world of James Bond with a casino, exclusive jewellery from Boodles and a Taittinger Champagne reception. Two of the ‘Boodles and Bond’ guests arrived in true 007 style thanks to their £160,000 Aston Martin. Suzanne and Barry Taplin, from Warrington, who are both loyal customers of The Chester Grosvenor, turned heads with their slate grey sports car which is synonymous with James Bond. The Taplins joined 120 guests who enjoyed a canapés and Taittinger Champagne reception followed by a three course dinner with wines. Justin Llewelyn, brand ambassador for Taittinger, entertained attendees by sharing stories about his father Desmond Llewelyn, who played gadget genius Q in 17 James Bond films. Ian Fleming’s favourite Champagne was Taittinger so it’s no surprise that it was also 007’s in the James Bond books Fleming wrote. Taittinger also gets a mention in films Casino Royale and From Russia with Love. Throughout the evening Boodles showcased their Velocity and Roulette jewellery collections made up of 18ct white, yellow and rose gold pendants, bracelets and earrings and white diamonds. A Boodles prize draw and casino with roulette and blackjack tables also featured at the black tie event. Jonathan Slater, managing director, said: “‘Boodles and Bond’ was a sell out event and is set to be one of the highlights of 2012. A very enjoyable evening was had by all and people are already asking when we will be holding ‘Boodles and Bond 2’.” # # # The Chester Grosvenor is a five star property featuring 80 individually styled rooms and suites and a luxury spa, in addition to the Michelin-starred ‘Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor’ restaurant and the award-winning La Brasserie.
