Caister Hall, Passion to inspire upskills day
What an inspiring day at Caister Hall, a warm welcome from Nick and Mark and the team showing us around this beautiful hall.
We didn’t know what to expect, a different venue for this year’s passion to inspire upskills day.
We were truly spoilt, starting with welcome drinks and tasty snacks, MJP Adnams sourdough bread and Fen butter.
Inspiring surroundings, a beautifully laid table and mouth-watering dishes, inspiration for the front of house students with the standard of service, menus, and wine pairings.
The food was delicious, great flavours and textures giving us all a different perspective on the brief.
A light pate de brick tartlet filled with peas and topped with a Baron Bigod beignet.
Dingley Dell pork cutlet was tender and simply served with broccoli puree, wild garlic and trompette, finished with a sauce Robert.
The passion fruit delice was sharp and finished off the lunch perfectly, sweet and sharp with great texture.
Thanks to Nick, Mark and the team and Ed at Hallgarten for the wine pairings for a truly inspiring day. Thanks to all at passion to inspire, we are lucky to have so many people give their time to inspire the students.
