Carshalton College hosted a Russian themed evening at our in house training restaurant, Nightingales, recently. The hospitality and catering students cooked a delicious five course menu for the Sutton Russian Circle.
Level 2 and Level 3 students gained experience of hosting and catering for events with students managing the restaurant and students preparing the following courses in the kitchen plus additional students are volunteering to help to gain experience.
>The Secretary of The Sutton Russian Circle sent a message of thanks following the evening
“Last night was a wonderful experience. We have nothing but praise for you and your young team. The meal, service, setting and atmosphere were so professional. Your ears must have been burning in the kitchen with all the praise being showered on you all! Thank you very much.
Everyone was very enthusiastic and keen to return next year. Hopefully it was useful for your students to prepare Russian dishes too.
All very best wishes and thank you again for your superb support for our evening, you in the kitchen and Sandra front of house, a first class team.”
