Training restaurant
World-renowned training ground for chefs and hospitality professionals
At University College Birmingham, our students train in professional facilities designed to reflect the environments they will experience in industry.
Our award-winning Restaurant at Birmingham College of Food gives students on our food, culinary and hospitality courses the opportunity to put their learning into practice in a real working restaurant, preparing and serving food for members of the public.
"When I went on the tour, I had never seen a kitchen like it. I didn't think about different colleges around the area – to be honest, they didn't hold a candle to University College Birmingham."
Real-world experience
The restaurant provides a live training environment where students can develop the practical skills, confidence and professionalism needed for careers across the food and hospitality industries.
Depending on their course, students can gain experience working both in professional kitchens and front of house, developing skills in areas such as food preparation and presentation, restaurant service, teamwork, communication and working with real customers.
Working alongside experienced lecturers and industry professionals, students are able to apply what they learn in the classroom within an operational restaurant environment.
