Thursday 5th September 2024 - Catering - Roast Dinner Day
Today in catering we all worked as a team to make a roast pork meal for our lunch. We worked on different catering skills including peeling and chopping vegetables. As well as how to prepare food hygienically and how to clear up as we used lots of pots and pans! Everyone enjoyed their lunch. Great effort by everyone!
