Budding chefs from Liverpool will showcase their culinary talents
Budding chefs from L20 Restaurant, part of Hugh Baird College, will join forces with city centre restaurant and bar, Voyagers, to provide customers with an exciting culinary experience that showcases their talents and innovation.
Following on from the success of the first collaboration, which took place in February this year, the event will shine the spotlight on the city’s next generation of hospitality talent. The evening will take place at Voyagers Restaurant & Bar on Parr Street on Thursday 18 September, starting at 6pm where guests will be welcomed with a selection of nibbles designed by Head Chef Jake Parry.
Guests will then be treated to an exclusive four-course menu, carefully curated by the team at L20 Restaurant and crafted by the talented students of L20 Hotel School, in collaboration with Voyagers’ chefs.
Since the initial restaurant takeover in February, Voyagers has welcomed three of the students into their team. Among them is Alfie Kennedy, 19, from Bootle, who recently graduated from Hugh Baird College with a Professional Cookery Diploma.
He said: “I am so looking forward to working with my L20 family again and showing the students what I have achieved since graduating.”
The menu includes some of the L20 Restaurant’s most popular and favourite dishes, including warm mushroom and truffle broth; halibut with courgette and saffron chutney, black olive tapenade and courgette and basil purée; lamb rump with boulangère potatoes, roasted radish, mint oil and lamb jus. Desserts include whey tart with roasted white chocolate; honey and yoghurt granita; and blackberry sorbet.
Curtis Goodwin, Food & Beverage Manager of Voyagers Restaurant & Bar, said: “We’re so excited to continue our partnership with L20. Not only does it give our guests an unforgettable evening, but it creates real opportunities for young people looking to start their careers in hospitality.
Stephen Otty, Curriculum Manager L20 Restaurant, said: “This collaboration gives our students the chance to design, prepare and present dishes in a professional environment, and seeing alumni like Alfie succeed is an incredible inspiration for our current learners.”
Tickets are priced at £50 per person and spaces are limited, so early booking is strongly recommended. To reserve your space, email reservations@voyagersliverpool.com or nicola.logan@hughbaird.ac.uk.
