Hospitality and Culinary Arts students from South Eastern Regional College (SERC) had the opportunity to work with celebrity chef Anna Haugh, when she visited the college’s Bangor Campus as part of Ards and North Down Borough Council’s Taste Autumn in Ards and North Down.

Anna is the star attraction at the Council’s Demo and Dine with Anna Haugh, taking place this evening, Friday 5 September. The unique dining experience, at Portavogie Harbour, will include welcome drinks followed by dishes that feature the finest local produce for lucky diners who have managed to secure the hottest ticket in town.

The menu has been curated by SERC’s Lecturer Chef team who will be working alongside students from the college and Anna. Anna worked with students  on the Level 2 Traineeship in Professional Chef and Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Professional Cookery - Patisserie and Confectionery courses, on SERC’s Bangor, Lisburn and Newtownards Campuses,  to prepare the dishes for the mouth-watering foodie experience on Thursday 4 September.

At Demo and Dine, Anna will be demonstrating some of the dishes from the menu. The meal will be served by the college’s Front of House team of students from the Level 2 Traineeship in Hospitality, and students from the HND Film & Television Production course will be recording highlights from the dining experience.

Students from Bangor and Downpatrick Campuses will also get the chance to work with Anna, at the Tide and Turf Festival Kitchen on Saturday 6 September.
