The Dane Bank Restaurant

This term's news!

Welcome to another issue of Hospitality News and Happy New Year. We hope you are able to make some early reservations and see us off to a flying start in 2010.

A big thank-you to all of you who came to the restaurant for either lunch or dinner last term and leading up to the festive period. Christmas was certainly very busy and the students have learnt a great deal from being busy. Please continue to come and visit us in January and February, which are traditionally our quietest months, as the students still need to practice their skills. We appreciate your continued custom and our students enjoy seeing familiar faces. Thanks and best wishes

New Campus Update

Construction work on our new college campus continues at a great pace and is bang on schedule for the September 2010 opening. This summer, we will be vacating the current college buildings and moving across to our new teaching space. The final adjustments are being made to plans for our new area and it's going to be very impressive. In the new campus, we'll have a large bistro and restaurant, two conference rooms and three kitchens.

So come and start saying your goodbyes to the existing Restaurant and Piano Bar. The new facility will be nothing like dining at Brierley Street, Hightown, Somerville or the Macon Suite, which some of you may remember.

Afternoon Teas Served Up

Entry Level students have been serving up afternoon teas in the Piano Bar every Thursday afternoon (1.30 - 3.30pm).

Students have helped to prepare and serve up teas, coffees and a variety of cakes and tasty treats in what has proved to be a very popular initiative. The group, led by Entry Level tutor Rita Haspell, are all working towards Entry Level programmes to develop their hospitality and catering and life skills.

The afternoon teas, all reasonably priced, will continue in the new year.
