What a fantastic way to round off our first term with a visit to Hilton Puckrup Hall! 🏨

This term has been full of enriching experiences, from team-building activities to guest speakers from professional kitchens, all helping to inspire our learners, build confidence and bring the hospitality industry to life.

Today, we were wonderfully hosted by General Manager Ahmet and Assistant F&B Manager Charles, who shared valuable insights into the hospitality industry, the Hilton Group and their own personal career journeys.

Our students also had the fantastic opportunity to get hands-on with a real-world experience, helping to set up for a wedding taking place this weekend, with expert guidance from Charles. A brilliant opportunity to put their learning into practice and gain a real insight into the planning, teamwork and attention to detail that goes into delivering exceptional hospitality.

A huge thank you to Ahmet, Charles and the whole team at Hilton Puckrup Hall Hotel & Golf Club, Tewkesbury for such a warm welcome, for sharing your knowledge and experience, and for inspiring the next generation of hospitality professionals.

An inspiring end to a brilliant first term — and we can’t wait to see what’s next!

Happy to all our budding young chefs 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳🧑‍🍳

Recently Level 2 Patisserie students were treated to a masterclass by celebrated pastry chef and owner of The Patisserie Box, Xavier Pelloux. Visits such as these by professional chefs are so invaluable to our students.

They learnt the ins and outs of how production is managed and the mass scaling of ingredients, getting a glimpse of what it takes for this local patisserie enterprise to deliver one million desserts a year.

Students got to create high-end choux pastry eclairs and watch how to professionally decorate them with ganache monter filling and fondant glaze. They were blown away by the signature bubble wrap chocolate and flower decorations, all made in-house.

It was fantastic to see students get to grips with new techniques and witness a true professional demonstrating their craft, it set the bar high for what is achievable in patisserie early on in their course.

Big thanks to Xavier for his visit and inspiring our students 🤩

What a night!!! 🤩🎉🪩

Staff awards is always a brilliant night Gloucestershire College and a fantastic challenge for our students!

They served over 80 guests with confidence and professionalism. They transformed our staff canteen into a beautiful space, and served up a delicious and beautifully presented 3 course meal with perfect timings. Teamwork was in high abundance.

So proud to see their hard work pay off, a huge congratulations to all the students involved — learning that works at its best! 🙌

We’ve witnessed some incredible teamwork this week in the catering department as we get close to the end of the students first term.

🛶 Firstly teamwork goes beyond the workplace, as our level 3 Professional Cookery took to the Saul junction canal to test their skills in more ways than one!

In hospitality, communication, trust and supporting one another are essential to success. Our students put these skills into practice through kayaking and team-building challenges, learning the importance of working together, adapting to challenges and trusting each other — even when changing seats in a canoe! 😂💦 (FYI no one fell in!!)

Because in hospitality, just like on the water, we’re stronger when we work as one team! 💙

Thank you NCS Team 9 for hosting us!
