Star chef visits Tycoch kitchens

Students on their very first day of a Hospitality and Catering course had a huge surprise when they were treated to a practical master class from Slice chef – and Great British Menu star – Adam Bannister.

Adam, a former student at the Tycoch campus, prepared pan fried pigeon with noodles followed by tarte tatin with caramel ice cream.

He was recently selected as the chef to represent Wales in the finals of the popular BBC show.

“It only seems like yesterday that Adam was on the same course as the students who attended his demonstration today and he has since gone on to achieve great success in the industry,” says lecturer Stephen Williams. “He is an inspiration to our students and certainly gave them food for thought in terms of their future career plans.”
