Huge well done to our Level 3 Kitchen & Larder 25/26 cohort for putting on a brilliant social action project this evening, raising money for Zoe’s Place Middlesbrough! They were supported by our Level 2 and 3 Front of House students, who did a fantastic job serving guests across three kitchens. We were also lucky to have Tracy from Zoe’s Place come in and share more about the amazing work they do. The students used the event as a final run-through before next week’s assessments, preparing and cooking their dishes and gaining valuable feedback from guests to help them improve. We wrapped up the evening with an in-house awards ceremony to recognise those who’ve really stood out this year; safe to say, very proud tutors all around. Well done to everyone involved!

A special thank you to Tony Beal from Cafe Vinci for delivering an excellent barista training session.
