Ashoka at the Mill Boosted by Booming Banqueting and Conference Business Ashoka at the Mill, the jewel in the crown of Harlequin Leisure Group, Europe's largest chain of Indian restaurants, has been boosted by an upsurge in bookings from Scotland's booming banqueting and conference business. Whilst the popularity of the Darnley, Glasgow-based family restaurant is well-established, the combination of its historic medieval farmhouse location with a classy contemporary twist has made the Mill a uniquely attractive function complex that has now captured the imagination of events organisers. Mrs Seema Saraf, manager of Ashoka at the Mill, said, 'This last year has seen us become one of the most sought-after banqueting and conference addresses in the city. But as well as hosting various business conferences and seminars, we regularly host Karaoke nights as well as children's parties in our Poppadom's Playzone. Whatever the event, whether business or pleasure, we can cater for your needs.' And Ashoka at the Mill has now launched an External Catering Service to help spice up events held in other venues. Said Mrs Saraf, 'If you are unable to come to the Mill, then we can bring the renowned Ashoka cuisine straight to you. Not only will we bring the courses you have chosen for your banquet, but we will send a masterchef to ensure that everything is properly prepared. 'And for business meetings, we also offer corporate lunch platters that we can deliver direct to your premises. Whatever the occasion, you can count on the Ashoka at the Mill team to make your event a great and memorable success.' The Ashoka at the Mill is an approved supplier to Hilton Hotels and has achieved the HSQC standard of food safety.   top
