“ We attended Scholars Restaurant this week for the 3 course Christmas menu. We were impressed with the food which was prepared to the highest standard making it absolutely delicious. The table was laid out beautifully and It was easy to forget that we were on college grounds because the students were polite and professional at all times. Definitely worth a visit. ”

- Paulin Emery -

“ The food here is amazing. On a par with any 5 star restaurant. All food is made by the students. Food looks and tastes amazing. Can't wait to go again £16 for 3 courses. ”

“ Truly exceptional food at incredibly affordable prices. The restaurant is effectively a real world work experience environment for both the front of house and kitchen college students. So each week the menu changes to reflect what the students have learnt that week. You would never guess that the kitchen staff are students given that the presentation and flavour profiles of the dishes are beyond what you might see in a restaurant charging triple the price. The 3 course menu normally offers 3 choices for each course and at £15 it's a steal! Bread and petit fours are provided too. Drinks are also very cheap with an extensive wine list. You'll need to book via phone ahead of time and make sure to double check the opening times/weeks. (Attached menu is from 12th Oct) ”
