College launches new training restaurant at the Amex
23 September 2011
City College Brighton and Hove, recently praised as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, is launching a new training restaurant ‘City College @ East Central Brasserie’ at the American Express Community Stadium. The College is renowned for producing such top local chefs as Ben McKellar (The Gingerman) and Simon Duncan (Sam’s of Brighton) and the new restaurant is designed to help train the next generation of chefs to achieve similar culinary excellence in a real working environment under the supervision of trained chefs.
'It is a great coup for the College to be involved with this wonderful new stadium and City College @ East Central Brasserie is not just providing excellent learning opportunities for our Level 1 to 3 catering students, its also a great means of enhancing our reputation in the community' says Principal Phil Frier. 'The Gallery, the training restaurant we already have at the College’s main campus, has gained a fantastic reputation for providing fine dining at a fraction of the usual cost and we’ve no doubt that customers at the Amex will be delighted with both the quality of the food and the very reasonable price.'
