The facilities comprise of two training kitchens and bar area. Training kitchen 1 is a restaurant style for level 2 & 3 students giving the experience of a commercial kitchen environment and operation whilst having a lecturer and student work stations for the provision of teaching 20 students.
Training kitchen 2 for level 1 & 2 students comprising of a lecturer station and island student work stations having their own preparation and cooking facilities, one of the work stations being also suitable for wheelchair students, having a hydro lift system to raise and lower each section.
Each kitchen caters for a central restaurant area, with kitchen 1 offering additionally function and silver service. An order was placed for GLS to supply and install the kitchen and bar equipment in August 2013 with a project programme to complete by the first week in November 2013, after half term.
