Catering and hospitality students at Croydon College are putting their learning into practice by offering a special Christmas lunch menu to the community at the College’s Chef’s Restaurant.
Ready to serve: Croydon College students prepare for their Christmas feast service
The students are working alongside Chef Mark Goldstein to serve a festive feast with a choice of starters, main courses and delicious desserts. Diners can enjoy two courses for £14.95 or three courses for £16.95.
“The Chef’s Restaurant is based inside Croydon College in the town centre, making it a great option for nearby businesses to hold their team Christmas lunch or for friends and community groups to enjoy a festive get-together,” a spokesperson for the College said.
Mark Goldstein said: “We held our first Christmas lunches in the restaurant last week and they have been a great success with excellent feedback from diners about the quality of the food and the service.
Special offers: the Chef’s Restaurant at Croydon College is offering some excellent value for money
“The students are working extremely hard to meet the high standards you would expect in any restaurant. It gives them the opportunity to gain invaluable hands-on experience and really understand what it is like to work in a restaurant setting both in the kitchen and front of house.
“It also provides our local businesses and communities with an affordable option for a Christmas celebration with work colleagues or friends.”
The remaining dates for the Chef’s Restaurant are this Wednesday, December 18, and Thursday, December 19, available to book via the website where you can also view the menu.
“Come and join the students at Croydon College for a joyful experience that will truly get you into the holiday spirit.”

ROTTEN BOROUGH AWARDS: In January 2024, Croydon was named among the country’s rottenest boroughs for a SEVENTH successive year in the annual round-up of civic cock-ups in Private Eye magazine
I am very pleased to recommend Chef’s restaurant at Croydon College. I organised a Christmas lunch for 29 people (long serving and retired College staff) in Chef’s on 6th December. This was possibly the first, and certainly the largest, group they had catered for this academic year. The food was excellent and the service efficient and friendly. The overall experience was delightful, and provided what we hoped was a supportive, valuable and enjoyable experience for the students. We have a meal booked for the group in June which we are looking forward to with eager anticipation, so much so that I will be looking for opportunities to eat there with friends as soon as possible.
