Escoffier Restaurant

Rated as 5 out of 5 stars on Tripadvisor, The Escoffier is our training restaurant run by catering and hospitality students, and an experienced lecturing team. Students learn by experience, serving real customers in a real working restaurant and kitchens. An incredible success story, the team creates menus designed to give students and diners alike, experience in an eclectic array of dishes using many ingredients from local producers. Escoffier operates at lunchtimes four times a week, serving a three-course lunch menu (and a buffet-style on Fridays), and three evenings a week serving more formal gourmet and themed menus.
