News: Hospitality student Alistair is excited about learning in the new ​‘Fletchers’ restaurant facilities in the City Hub

We spoke with catering student Alistair Coldbeck recently, who has spent the last few months studying for his Level 3 qualification in Hospitality Supervision and Leadership and he’s excited to return to practical study at our new City Hub campus. 

Alistair won the award for Real Working Environment- Front of House Student of the Year at an internal College event before COVID-19, back in 2019. We were recently able to invite our catering students who have been studying at home in online and virtual environments back onto campus to study. 

For our catering students this is especially exciting as they are moving into an entirely new commercial kitchen and training facility in our City Hub, full of brand-new, state-of-the-art equipment. They will be learning and soon to be working in Fletchers restaurant — where uniquely our restaurant is staffed by students working towards their qualifications in Hospitality and Catering, who are trained and supervised by industry professionals.

Fletchers is currently due to open in mid-May 2021.

Of returning to campus, Alistair said:

As well as continuing with his Level 3 studies, Alistair has also earned the role of trainee supervisor, which will see him be a part of the management training team helping prep themed evenings, takeover nights at Fletchers and the day-to-day running of a commercial restaurant.

He said:

Fletchers restaurant will host a special Gala launch Evening on Wednesday 19^th May, bookings are now being taken and you can take a glance at the menu here.
