Compass hosts Xcelerate with Edgbaston event
Hospitality students from South and City College, Birmingham, collaborated with industry leaders to provide a fine dining lunch service at Xcelerate with Edgbaston.
Budding chefs and hospitality students from South and City College, Birmingham, collaborated with industry leaders recently to provide a fine dining lunch service at Xcelerate with Edgbaston, Compass’ state-of-the-art training facility at Edgbaston Stadium. The collaborative showcase united emerging talent and experienced professionals in a celebration of culinary excellence and innovation.
In front of an audience comprising hospitality employers, educators and culinary experts, students worked alongside renowned chefs from Xcelerate with Edgbaston, Restaurant Associates and Levy UK+I, which are all part of Compass UK and Ireland. Together they created an impressive four-course seasonal fine dining menu.
'Support the next generation'
Adam Thomason, culinary director for Restaurant Associates, said: " Our chefs have already been working with the college through The Chefs’ Forum Academy, so inviting the students into our training facility to cook a four-course lunch for 100 industry guests felt like the perfect next step. It’s a great way to showcase what a career in food at Restaurant Associates and the wider Compass business can look like, and we’re proud to support the next generation coming through."
