Hospitality Award, The Kitchen restaurant, sponsor Cream Design
A student-run restaurant boosts their employability and helps fill local skills needs, says its nominator for the Hospitality Award.
“The Kitchen restaurant at Reading College and University Centre helps our professional culinary arts students to sharpen their culinary skills, equipping them for successful careers in the hospitality industry,” they said.
The students are supported by teaching staff with industry experience. It is open to the public during term time and offers restaurant standard food at a lower cost.
All menus are created to challenge the trainee chefs to enhance the dining experience of their customers, said the nominator.
“Working at The Kitchen often provides students with their first experience in the hospitality industry, giving them experience in a busy and stressful kitchen.
“This helps to boost their employability skills while meeting local skills needs and can help them to secure their first job in the hospitality industry,” they added.
The Hospitality Award, inspired by and in memory of Hilary Scott, is sponsored by Cream Design.
