Time for Tea!

Author Henry James famously said, “There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea,” and our Level 1 Introduction to Hospitality students certainly proved that to be true as they put on afternoon tea at Herriots Hotel recently.

The Afternoon Tea was part of the students’ Customer Service Unit and followed three successful afternoon teas delivered at College in the Three Peaks Bistro, for the general public.

The students were assisted by Herriots staff including one of our current Level 1 Professional Cookery students who has a part time job there, and an ex-Level 1 and Level 2 Professional Cookery student who now works at Herriots full time, making it a true Craven College family affair!

Richard Newall, Lecturer in Catering and Hospitality said, “These events provide vital experience of working in Industry and being able to put into practice skills and knowledge being developed at College. They also deepen and strengthen our relationships with local employers which can only then develop and grow.“

Our students received rave reviews, with one delighted customer saying “Thank you to all involved for a lovely experience. The food was delicious and well-presented particularly the quality of the scones and cakes were to be complimented. The service was excellent; the students interacted well with guests and were very attentive to our needs for more drinks etc. Keep up the great work everyone you should be proud of yourselves! 

“Looking forward to coming again next time!”

A huge thank you to everyone at Herriots for giving our students such a great experience!
