FAREHAM College hospitality and catering students successfully ran the lunch and dinner services at Hallidays restaurant in Funtington.

Ten Level 3 students were given an opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a local restaurant.

Students prepared, cooked and served highquality dishes from the menu at Hallidays, which are particular favourites of regular guests at the restaurant.

Customers were very complimentary of the food and service, and thoroughly enjoyed their dining experience.

Level 3 food and beverage service student, Rebecca Knight said: “I have really enjoyed the experience at Hallidays and I am grateful to have had the opportunity.

“The kitchens and training restaurant at college are great but it’s good to be able to practise what I have learnt in a new and challenging environment.”

Oonagh Taylor, the hospitality and catering programme manager at Fareham College, said: “This has been a fantastic opportunity for them to use what they have learned throughout their time at college.

“Hopefully this experience has offered them an insight into the catering industry
