Already popular with the local gastronomes, college restaurants in Pendleton, South Trafford and St Helens have now made the regional shortlist for the prestigious College Restaurant of the Year competition. The menus caught the judge’s eye with their
“inventive approach” and “excellent
skills”, and an expert panel of celebrity chefs including Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey among industry bigwigs will be descending on the colleges over the next couple of weeks to put the students to the test.
Thom Hetherington, Marketing and Event Director at Restaurant magazine said:- “The quality of entries has been outstanding but these three really stood out; I know our panel are desperate to get down to them and tuck in.” Staff and students at the colleges were said to be
“delighted”.
This is the inaugural year for the College Restaurant of the Year competition which is intended to recognise and reward the efforts of catering colleges across the country.

MP calls for Ban on Disconnections
LEADING Liberal Democrat MP, John Pugh, is lending his weight to a campaign to end disconnections for energy consumers.
John Pugh, Liberal Democrat MP for Southport, said:- “The level of disconnections of customers by energy companies is worrying and will lead to customers in Southport and hundreds across the region being unnecessarily cut off from their gas and electricity supplies. I welcome the efforts of Energywatch to address this issue and I will be supporting this campaign.”
Energywatch, the gas and electricity consumer watchdog, welcomed the support saying that it was a vital boost to the campaign. A spokesperson said that it wanted to use the Energy Bill, expected to have a second reading on December 11, as an opportunity to call for the UK Government to ban disconnections.
