Waterfront Restaurant and Coffee Shop

About the Waterfront Restaurant and Coffee Shop

Our dishes and refreshments are carefully prepared and served by our Hospitality and Catering students studying a ranging of qualifications from level 1 to level 3 in Culinary Skills, Professional Cookery and Hospitality Supervision. Our facilities create many opportunities for the student experience, preparing them for a career within the industry and enabling them to become occupationally competent within all areas of the sector.

The Coffee Shop has been designed especially for our students, creating a holistic learning environment, preparing them for work in the commercial sector of Hospitality and Catering. We are proud of our charming Coffee Shop; it was designed and created to incorporate a modern but traditional setting which appeals to both internal and external customers. The Coffee Shop offers a tempting selection of freshly made soup, sandwiches, salads and daily specials. Our Italian Coffee Making machines, give our students the opportunity to learn a range of Barista skills, and our students are trained to prepare and serve good quality food, with the help of our very experienced and knowledgeable staff.

The flexibility of our spacious Waterfront Restaurant and bar enables us to provide not only seating for diners at lunch time but can be adapted for other occasions such as conferences, breakfast meetings, afternoon teas and special business dinners in the evening. The newly developed outside eating oasis is a cheerful addition to the Waterfront areas, a spacious terraced area which is fitted with classic style picnic benches, provides a relaxing, welcoming open space during the pleasant weather.
