Hospitality students studying at Hugh Baird College’s L20 Hotel School last night amazed guests at a dinner at the College’s L20 Restaurant.
The Celebrate Skills Night, was organised and delivered by students following the Level 1 qualification in Professional Cookery and Food Service. Devised to link students with potential employers and provide meaningful work experience as part of the group’s programme of study, the dinner was attended by hoteliers from across the region, college staff and the parents and family members of the student chefs and service staff.
The event also provided students studying for higher level qualifications with the chance to develop their supervisory skills.
Speaking at the event, L20 Hotel School Director and Hugh Baird College Assistant Principal Mike Mounfield said:
“Tonight is about students showcasing the skills they’ve developed working alongside College staff and the support given by Nigel Haworth, Kenny Atkinson, Adam Franklin, Phil Howard and Simon Rimmer just to name a few.”
“The distance they have travelled as chefs and service staff since arriving at the L20 Hotel School is truly remarkable and that is testament to their hard work and the dedication of the L20 Hotel School staff.”
“I would like to thank the hoteliers of Liverpool for their continued support and would like to congratulate the students on continued commitment to their studies.”
Hugh Baird College Chair of Governors, Jim Brown, said:
“I thought the quality of food and the standards of service were excellent and matched that found in some of the top hotels and restaurants in the country. The students really did show off their skills and produced a fantastic menu. The presentation of the dishes was stunning and was matched by the taste of each part of the menu. A night to remember.”
L20 Hotel School student, Jack Garner, said:
“The things I’ve done at College this year have been amazing. I’ve worked with top chefs and I’m looking forward to starting to work in the industry over the summer to get even more experience.”
