Well done to Scott Mears (Level 3 Hospitality) and Trixiebelle Ewing (Level 2 Hospitality) who recently represented the college at the Welsh Skills Food Service competition, held at Llandrillo.
Competing against 12 candidates, they were required to complete a banana flambé, liqueur coffee, cocktails and mocktails, steak Diane, hot beverages, napkin folding, lay a table for a themed event and match wines with a menu.
“The competition was extremely tight, with only 11 marks separating the first and twelfth competitor,” says mentor Nicola Rees. “Our students were placed fourth and fifth which is an indicator of the high standards that they demonstrated to the judges.”
Both students have the opportunity to progress to the ‘UK Skills’ regional finals held in May at Hull College, with the exciting possibility of becoming finalists in the Skills Show at Birmingham later this year.
