Taught by our expert lecturers, students of all ages will benefit from hands-on learning in industry-standard kitchens where their kitchen creativity can really come to life. Front of house, the public will get to enjoy a seasonal menu devised, prepared and served by the students themselves. 

“This is the best of both worlds,” explains Adam. 

“The students get unparalleled access to the sort of environment and equipment that professional chefs and hospitality staff work with all the time. Forget about sitting in a classroom all day – these courses give you the theory and the knowledge, then we expect you to put that into practice pretty quickly. 

“The distance into Birmingham city centre makes accessing this type of professional training and dining experience prohibitive for many people. The Chelmsley Wood culinary school is an exciting, complementary addition and the hope is that it will increase footfall to what is already a thriving communal centre. 

“Visitors to the shopping centre can do their errands and then enjoy the fabulous, affordable food on offer in the dining area too, so it's win-win!"
