The facilities are really good. We have three kitchens and a restaurant so we gain experience of both catering and hospitality. As you progress, you move up to different kitchens and by the time you get to Level 3 you get to run a themed evening in the restaurant. You have complete control over the design and layout of the restaurant, design of the menu, ordering the ingredients and prep all of the food, including organising and allocating roles to your kitchen team. Learning these skills and gaining this experience gets you ready for the real world.

College Supports East of Eden Bid

Tourism underpins Eastbourne’s economy, contributing over £500 million of value and generates more than 30% of jobs in the town, so it’s no surprise to have the Eastbourne Hospitality Association behind the bid. Kristian says, “Eden brings the potential for transforming a large area of under-utilised land into a valuable asset for Eastbourne, East Sussex and the South Downs National Park. An ‘Eastbourne Park’ could become a year-round destination for local, national and international visitors and enhance the attractiveness of Eastbourne as a tourism location. This would be hugely beneficial for tourism and hospitality businesses in Eastbourne and create jobs for local people as we recover from the pandemic.”

But times have changed and, thankfully, there are loads more opportunities for women to run their own kitchens, restaurants, and other hospitality businesses.”
