Students run the College catering facility, known as the Bell Bar, which provides food and refreshments for staff, students and visitors to the College. Students working in this environment benefit from the experience of providing a much needed service. Daily tasks include:
- preparing hot and cold food for lunches
- serving drinks and meals
- using the till
- meeting and greeting visitors
- setting tables
- many more tasks associated with a catering and hospitality environment
Students can practice their cookery skills whilst also gaining an understanding of health and safety, food hygiene, healthy eating and nutrition. They also interact with customers on a regular basis, developing communication and money handling skills.
