Catering learners attend local Gurdwara!

Learners from the Hospitality and Catering department at Leicester College attended a local Gurdwara to see how food was prepared and served to the local community. The group attend the temple with members of staff from the Learner Engagement and Enrichment Team, Sharen Ravat and Maxine Chambers. Kartar Singh, the Sikh multi faith chaplain from the College also attended to show learners around. At first learners were apprehensive as they had to remove their shoes and cover their heads to enter. Once inside the learners were full of questions and wanted to know more about the temple as a place of worship and also about what goes on in the kitchens. Learners were given the oppourtunity to see how food was prepared, the utensils used and how the food was served. Learners were also given a chance to sample the food. One learner commented,

 

 'I didnt know what to expect and didnt know what the difference was between a Sikh temple and a Mosque...I know the difference now'.
