Catering students from Coleg Ceredigion’s Aberystwyth campus had the exciting opportunity to host an event at The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.
A team of students from across all three levels of the catering course created a menu of a selection of high end canapes and welcome drinks for the event which had to fit a brief they were given.
Some examples of canapes they created were wild mushroom beignet, pickled mushroom and truffle oil and chicken liver parfait, Welsh onion marmalade, sourdough with crispy skin.
The event which took place on the 16th March 2023 was the launch of the first national broadcast archive in the UK to open in Aberystwyth, housed at The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth.
It will be the first national broadcast archive in the United Kingdom, and one of the most usable broadcast archives in Europe, transforming public access to a century of Welsh broadcast history with film, video and audio in both Welsh and English digitised for discovery.
Visitors to the event were from well known broadcasters in Wales such as ITV Cymru Wales, S4C and BBC Wales. Welsh radio and television presenter, Jason Mohammad was presenting the event for the evening.
Students had to professionally serve all guests and those who were working in the kitchen were precise and quick. Jess severs, catering lecturer at the college said the event was ‘brilliant’ and ‘eye opening’ for students who were extremely professional and welcoming to guests.
For some students this was the first formal event they had attended and worked in so it was a great taste of their future and something to include on their CVs.
