MALVERN BUZZ
DINING AT MALVERN
FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD
Buzz asked Executive Chef Alastair to tell us what the Top 5 mains and puds were, here is the result:
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” At Malvern College we are in agreement with Virginia Woolf. We have in-House dining, which allows each House to come together at breakfast, lunchtime at supper and for breaks throughout the day. Once a term a “Dining Together” event is held, which sees all 11 houses eating together in the College’s purpose built conference suite - The Gryphon Room”. It really is a special occasion, with friends from across the houses enjoying the good food and the lovely atmosphere.
The pupils value the in-House dining. This is evident from the chatter that fills each dining room and the aromas that come from the kitchen. The choice on offer at each sitting caters for every taste and this is confirmed by the empty plates that are returned to the kitchen. Every day there is a salad bar and a lovely fruit selection.
Catering at Malvern is provided by Holroyd Howe, and under the direction of General Manager, Colin Richardson and Executive Chef, Alastair Bancroft who ensures that through regular dialogue and feedback from pupil representatives his House Chef’s and the catering team can provide for all tastes and dietary requirements whilst serving food that is balanced, nutritious and delicious.
