🌟 A warm welcome to our new students! 🌟

It was fantastic to welcome Fed and Christine from Angelo's Restaurant & Cocktails Bar Sunderland to City Bistro, where they spoke to our new students about industry expectations, working in hospitality and work placement opportunities.

A great opportunity for our students to hear directly from industry professionals and start thinking about their future careers. 👏

Thank you, Fed and Christine, for your time and support! 💙
