On a recent visit to the Diploma students in the kitchens of the Preview Restaurant it was great to see the enthusiasm of the students as they faced the challenge of serving 40 customers booked for diner that evening. Walking around, there were students who had obviously developed skills before starting the course and those who were still learning but the confidence they had that they would all achieve the desired outcome before the night was over was especially satisfying. There was a real buzz in the room. Living legend ( that will cost you Leo!) Leo Gerrets was in command but seemed to be able to merely suggest rather than demand what should happen next. What a fabulous experience for young people embarking on a career in management. Really top shelf food and a thoroughly worthwhile management experience.
