Gastronomic Tour




A number of the staff managed to slip away from the college with a collection of NVQ Level 2 students.


They ended up on a foodie version of a pub crawl, in London's West End.








First stop was Le Gavroche restaurant at 44 Upper Brook Street.

Here they met Michael Roux the Head Chef / Owner and were given a talk regarding the Industry and a tour of the kitchens.









Next stop was the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London W2.

They kindly gave the students a tour of the hotel showing Banqueting Halls and kitchens.

It is the third largest banqueting hotel in London.








Their final stop was Galvins at 66 Baker Street, London.

Here they met the owner / Head Chef Jeff Galvin who proved it was the most up and coming restaurant in London.


It was an enjoyable day with students able to see various form of catering outlets from large to small.
