Liverpool Football Club shares
hospitality and catering expertise with College students
STUDENTS at Hugh Baird
College's Hospitality and Catering department, L20 Hotel School, teamed up
Liverpool Football Club, to deliver a live dining experience to paying
guests at the College's L20 Restaurant.
Aspiring chefs from the L20 Hotel School 1st took part in a preparation day at
Anfield which saw them work under LFC Executive Head Chef Chris Marshall and his
catering team. The budding front of house students received training and advice
from LFC Hospitality Manager John Hollywood in the stadium's Executive Lounge.
The students also took part in a tour of the state of the art kitchens and
catering facilities and a Q&A session to learn more about the stadium catering
and hospitality industry and the exciting career opportunities that are
available.
The following day saw the Liverpool Football Club team come to Hugh Baird
College to work closely the students in order to prepare and deliver a live
matchday dining experience to guests at the College's L20 Restaurant.
Liverpool Football Club is teaming up with local colleges across Merseyside and
St. Helen's area to offer catering students the opportunity to work alongside
the club's senior chefs and hospitality team and learn more about stadium
catering and the hospitality business.
Hugh Baird College and L20 Hotel School student, Averyll Green, said:-
"The whole experience has been amazing. To have a tour of the Anfield facilities
and then to work with their teams and receive 1 to 1 advice from them has
given me an invaluable insight into the sporting catering industry at 1 of the
biggest football clubs in the world.
The live dining event at the restaurant was quite intense, but it was really
rewarding. Working under such an experienced and respected chef as Chris
Marshall was great, I learnt so much from him and his team."
Commenting on the live dining experiences, Paul Cuttill, General Manager of
Hospitality, Tourism and Events at LFC, said:- "We are delighted to be
teaming up with local catering colleges to offer students the opportunity to
learn more about the evolution of the stadium catering business while helping to
develop their skills in a live dining environment. We also want to make students
aware of what job opportunities are available to them within the sporting and
stadium business industry."
