🏆 HATA Awards 2023 🏆
We have had one student, who for the last 2 years has been the only one studying Food and Beverage Operations and Hospitality Operations at level 7. Much of the delivery was integrated with other classes, but assessments were all different. It is a hard slog when you have no one to bounce ideas off, but from starting at college 4 years ago and saying she hated front of house 😂🤷‍♀️, to continuing her studies through Covid, to finishing with an HNC in Hospitality Operations we had to recognise Lynsey Walker - its a huge achievement doing this on your own! Well done 👏👏 UHI Moray

3 years of bliss but very hard working times!

Without you all I wouldn’t be here though so want to thank you all for your orders, support, messages, comments, reviews, shares and so on…

Without you I wouldn’t be creating those stunning looking cakes, desserts, patisseries, wedding cakes, afternoon teas…

Thank you again!

GOING BACK TO HIS ROOTS...

We're huge advocates of training and passing skills on, trying to develop the future of the hospitality industry and share insights to people interested in hotels and restaurants as a vocation.

Our Executive Chef Alan Clarke is an alumni of the Hospitality and Tourism Academy at HATA UHI Moray. After graduating, he went on to work in some of Scotland's finest hotels and restaurants, including the much lauded Three Chimneys in Skye before arriving at Meldrum as our talented Executive Chef.

So, he's heading back to his original roots and will be creating the main course for a Gala Dinner at the College at the end of March where he will be cooking alongside other alumni that the College are rightly proud of.

Find out more about all the chefs lined up for the Gala Dinner by heading to the College social media channels.
