Athletics: vs Taunton Meet
The Showcase Culinary Event provided a remarkable opportunity for our Upper Sixth BTEC Hospitality pupils to demonstrate the skills and knowledge they have developed over the past two years.
Guests, including parents, staff, and industry professionals from esteemed establishments such as The Newt, Art Farm, No1 Bruton, Bryar, and Homewood, were treated to an afternoon of Asian tapas, thoughtfully paired with selected wines and cocktails.
Our pupils took full ownership of the event, planning every detail from the menu and table settings to room décor and wine pairings, with support from The Cellarhand. Each pupil applied for their chosen role, whether in the kitchen, front of house, or operations, mirroring real-world hospitality recruitment processes.
Upon arrival, guests were welcomed with cocktails or mocktails accompanied by Asian-inspired blinis. Once seated, they were served beautifully presented sushi platters, showcasing the pupils’ knife skills and attention to detail. The tasting menu featured a diverse selection of dishes, including duck pancakes, Thai chicken skewers, Korean pork, and matcha mini cheesecakes, among others.
Despite the demands of exams, lessons, and extracurricular commitments, the pupils collaborated to deliver an exceptional experience. The event also served as a valuable opportunity for them to receive constructive feedback, which will inform their final assessments and personal reflections.
As their teacher over the past two years, it has been a privilege to witness their growth, not only in culinary and hospitality expertise, but also in confidence, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. I am incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and the dedication they have shown in bringing this event to life
