🥥🍌 Dish Highlight 🍌🥥

Looking for something a little different this Friday lunchtime?

Our Coconut-Crumbed Chicken Breast Stuffed with Banana is a must-try from the Level 6 menu.

Crisp, golden chicken coated in a crunchy coconut crumb gives way to a deliciously sweet banana filling, creating the perfect balance of savoury and tropical flavours. Served with fragrant pilaf rice and a rich, warming curry sauce, every element of this dish has been carefully paired to complement the next.

To finish, a vibrant mango, mint, lime & coriander chutney adds a refreshing burst of freshness, bringing together sweet, zesty and aromatic notes in every bite.

A unique combination of textures and flavours that's sure to brighten up your Friday lunchtime. 🍽️✨

Available on the Level 6 menu every Friday lunchtime.

Have you given it a try yet? 👇🥭🥥🍛

With our first week of restaurant service now behind us, the initial nerves have started to settle, and there’s a real sense of achievement and pride amongst everyone involved. ⭐

It’s been fantastic to see our students step up to the challenge, put their skills into practice, and deliver such a great experience for our guests.

Pictured here are our 2 groups of Level 5 Professional Cookery students.
Some have progressed from Level 4 after successfully completing their studies last year, while others have joined us directly from industry, bringing a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience to the kitchen. 🔥🍳

These talented students take turns preparing and cooking for our restaurant guests every Wednesday and Thursday lunchtime, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in a professional environment. 🍽️✨

A fantastic start to the year for both groups, and we’re excited to watch their confidence, skills, and creativity continue to grow over the coming months.

Well done, everyone! 👏🌟

👨‍🍳✨ Student Interviews ✨👩‍🍳

We wanted to do something a little different and catch up with two of our Level 5 Professional Cookery students, Aaron Logan and Eva Owens, who you'll often find preparing lunch service on Wednesdays 🍽️🔥.

🍳 Aaron's Interview🍳

❓ 1. Where did your passion for hospitality come from?
👨‍👦 My family inspired me to pursue hospitality. Although I originally wanted to avoid the industry, my dad's role as a Head Chef in a local café in North Ayrshire sparked my interest. I now work alongside him while studying at college 👨‍🍳❤️.

❓ 2. What has been your most enjoyable or memorable experience?
🌟 Working Front of House during Level 4 was a real highlight. It was outside my comfort zone at first, but I quickly gained confidence and really enjoyed the experience. I enjoyed myself doing high pressure stuff in the kitchen (time plan and following it) and also reviewing my performances every week I wouldn't expect to do at this time. Also actually helping out other people when necessary and just really growing out of my uncomfortable shell made me feel really good. 😊🙌.

❓ 3. What else have you gained from college?
💪 I’ve become much more confident and comfortable in unfamiliar situations, which has helped me both personally and professionally 🚀.

❓ 4. What are your future plans?
🍽️ I want to stay in the kitchen environment. Right now, my focus is on completing my Level 5 course 🎓✅ and seeing what opportunities come next 🌟.

🧁Eva's Interview 🧁

❓ 1. Where did your passion for hospitality come from?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 My older siblings all worked in hospitality, which inspired me to follow a similar path. Learning from my brother, who is a chef 👨‍🍳, helped develop my passion for cooking and led to my current role at a local golf club ⛳🍴.

❓ 2. What has been your most enjoyable or memorable experience?
🤝💕 Meeting people with similar interests and building a strong group of friends throughout my course has been my most enjoyable experience.

❓ 3. What else have you gained from college?
⚡ I’ve learned how to channel my energy effectively, knowing when to lift morale and when to focus on the task at hand 📚🍳.

❓ 4. What are your future plans?
🥐🍰 My goal is to work in a bakery specialising in desserts and pastries. While I may one day open a family-run bakery 🏡❤️, my current priority is completing my Level 5 course 🎓✨.
