Support the next generation of industry professionals

Prospects is a fully operational, licensed training restaurant that gives our commercial cookery and hospitality students the chance to prepare food for real paying customers. And because our expert teachers are guiding them behind the scenes, the service is always polished and professional. 

The restaurant is open sporadically throughout the year for dine‑in service (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and takeaway meals. We encourage you to book in advance or pre‑order takeaway meals so the students can plan ahead.

Hire our space

Looking for somewhere to host your next special event? Prospects is perfect for cocktail parties or formal sit‑down dinners for up to 90 guests. The venue is also equipped with a modern audiovisual system and two screens.

Your safety is our priority

Our cookery students must follow the Government's food-handling guidelines, which cover personal hygiene, cross-contamination, allergens, temperature, storage, cleaning and illness. If you're unwell, please reschedule your visit to Prospects.
