Enjoy cut price taste of silver service at refurbished restaurant

Nov. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- A County Durham restaurant which offers a cut price taste of silver service reopened today after a major refurbishment.

The Mitre Restaurant, housed within Bishop Auckland College’s main campus, has been expanded from 35 to 50 covers, a new bar added and opening hours extended.

The venue offers catering and hospitality students a chance to experience a working restaurant, while diners enjoy quality food at affordable prices.

Managed by teaching staff, the restaurant has just published its Christmas lunch and dinner menu – a mouthwatering selection of starters, mains and desserts for just £11.95 per head.

Hospitality and catering lecturer Julie Hinch, who runs the restaurant, said: “We have over 100 students here training to be chefs, sous chefs, supervisors, hospitality assistants and bar and barista staff.

“The restaurant provides a real life working environment for them, while offering members of the public excellent value. It’s well worth a visit.”

The Mitre Restaurant is open Tuesday and Wednesday for lunch from 11.30am to 1pm, and Wednesday and Thursday evenings for dinner from 6pm to 9pm. Prices start from £7.95 for two courses.

To find out more or to book, email julie.hinch@bacoll.ac.uk or call (01388) 743 184. The Christmas menu can be viewed at www.bacoll.ac.uk/mitre-restaurant.html
