Year 10 Hospitality and Catering students were invited to Merton College for a tour and a meal. Students were given a talk on the pathways available to them at Merton and were shown all the different areas.

Students visited the onsite hairdressing salon, the Engineering department, and the ICT suites. However, students seemed most wowed by the lecture theatre and Science departments, which included an extremely realistic mannequin in bed in the Health and Social Care room.

During the tour our students met the head chef, who spoke about what the Catering course entailed and students got an idea of how it feels to be ‘Back-of-House’.

To conclude our visit, the students were treated to a 2-course meal in the restaurant, where we bumped into two of last year’s year 11s. The staff complimented them on their behaviour and interest and said they would be looking forward to receiving some applications.
