The Restaurant Brochure
The Restaurant at Kendal College is the ideal place to relax and unwind with great food, great surroundings and great company. The food produced is planned by the college’s kitchen and restaurant team. We plan menus to maximise the students’ learning experience and we describe the food as simple and presented in a contemporary style.

Last year saw great successes for the Lakes Hotel School, winning cookery competitions, the trip of a lifetime for catering students to Kendall College in Chicago as well as hosting the 2009 Food Festival. As part of the College’s new £12.9 million facilities, the School introduced three new kitchens, a new cafe for staff and students and one of the finest cookery theatres that is used as a base room for catering students and as a private dining room for guests to hire, where they can watch chefs demonstrate the culinary expertise behind the food they then eat. As you will see, an exciting year beckons with cookery demonstrations, the 2010 Food Festival, Young Cumbrian Chef Competition, fund-raising events for a variety of organisations, events for head chefs, restaurant and hotel managers from |

leading Cumbrian hotels and restaurants, luncheons and dinners with themes such as Lobster, Salmon and Champagne luncheon, The Great British Menu and a Gastro Pub Grub week. The Festive Season sees all the festive ingredients being used, but not necessarily in the traditional way.
Educational visits are an important part of a catering student’s experience, with visits planned for Europe. The Culinary Team will see Dubai and one group of lucky hospitality degree students will graduate in the Chateau of Pol Roger in Champagne, in association with Shire Hotels.
This year, the menus and events at the Lakes Hotel School have once again been planned by the College’s lecturers, made up of a team of very experienced Chefs and food service staff, who have all worked at renowned establishments in the United Kingdom & Europe. As a team we plan the menus and events to maximise the students’ learning experience both in and away from the college, such as canapé receptions on Windermere, wedding receptions and garden parties in and around South Lakeland.
Food prepared and served in the Lakes Hotel School is best described as simple with an emphasis on technique and flavour that also takes into account presentation and service style. We believe our food is the equal of the finest Cumbrian hotels and restaurants. Menus for Restaurant events and functions maximise the use of local seasonal produce. Relationships with all of the Lakes Hotels school’s suppliers are well developed and all suppliers support learning as guest speakers or by offering provider demonstrations for our students. The Lakes Hotel school also warmly appreciates the truly outstanding fund-raising support that most suppliers have given over the years.
The Restaurant is available for breakfasts, luncheons, dinners and private functions as well as conference meetings and events.
