Newbury College students catered for Porsche Reading's recent showcase event in which they invited past and present owners of their vehicles to take part in a fun and interactive evening, which included a question and answer session with Porsche racing drivers and 'a question of sport' game.

The catering students created a variety of canapes which they served along with drinks to staff and guests at the event.

Newbury College offers full and part time courses and apprenticeships in catering. Jobs in this area range from those preparing food, cooking, serving food and drink, welcoming guests and housekeeping behind the scenes.

Curriculum Manager for Services Rachael Elsey said, Thank you to Porsche for inviting us to cater their prestigious event. The students thoroughly enjoyed catering the evening. Opportunities like this provide our students with valuable experience within the catering industry.

For members of the public who would like to try the catering students' food, the College Training Restaurant is open for general bookings, providing diners with the opportunity to sample the excellent dishes created. With menus varying throughout the year, there is always something new and exciting being served, from hearty soups to decadent desserts. Enjoy a two course meal for £7.95 or a three course meal including coffee for £10.95.

Alternatively for businesses needing catering for events, the College catering students are always looking for new ventures to take part in. For more information call the College on 01635 845000 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
