Students serve up a feast for Dawley residents

Dawley Diners treated to Christmas lunch

Students from Telford College laid on a festive food feast for a members of a local community dining group.

Public uniformed services students joined forces with catering students to treat members of the Dawley Dinner group to a Christmas meal in the Orange Tree restaurant on the college’s Wellington campus.

It has become an annual tradition – giving students chance to develop their cookery and hospitality skills, at the same time as laying on a memorable outing for the group.

Run by Great Dawley Town Council, the ‘Dawley Dinner’ initiative is designed to give local people access to a warm meal… and even warmer company.

Writing to the college after the event, the council said: “Thank you so much to yourselves and all of your students for your continued support in our community. 

“We were so grateful to have been welcomed to the Orange Tree for the festive lunch, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all in attendance.”
