We Found a Hidden Restaurant Run Entirely by Student Chefs
Student chefs cooked us a full 3-course meal at Level 6, the training
restaurant at Blackpool and Fylde College in Bispham, and we weren’t
sure what to expect. Every penny spent here goes back into training
the next generation of chefs, so is it genuinely good value, or does
it still feel like a work in progress?
In this honest review, we break down the food, the service, the
atmosphere, and whether we’d actually recommend it.

Would you eat at a student run restaurant? Let us know where you'd like us to review next
The pink handbag cake looks like a slab of raw steak and the mashed potato looks like a turd, presentation is off but other than that it looks good 😂
Great review and a nice change 😊 there students do a lot of things like this, we've got a full on hair dressing salon in our town and all are students. A lot of people aren't even aware it's there and what's available. Nothing better than doing something but giving our future generation experience in what they love ❤️ great video lads and very eye opening 😊
Excellent, correct score and well done to all the young people learning the art of cooking- top level food,presentation and very pleasant staff. That is a place to go to 👏
A great little video as always. I went a few years back with folk from work and I couldn't believe how good it was, friendly staff, great presentation and good value. From your review, I'd say nothing has changed and it may have improved if anything. To be honest though, I don't know anybody who goes there so maybe eating at college is just not cool ? Martin said at the end that everybody would like it there and I couldn't agree more. Thanks lads.
Sorry, your link has an error code 404 and states “page not found”
What’s the postcode for the college please, definitely on my list but wondering do you always need to book or can you just turn up on the day, one more question when are they open – days & opening/closing times would be appreciated if you have that information. Your review made my mouth water, thanks guys xx
Used my last HYPE on this video. Well deserved 💙 Catch you in the next one😂😂
Hopefully by you reviewing this place it will get more people going. 🤞 I imagine there are so many people who do not even know these places exist but thanks to you two they do now. Meant to say Banoffee desserts are my ultimate favourite so I would of devoured that and thought I was in Heaven 😂😂.. Defo 10+x
excellent review guys, the food looked delish
Chaps, that must be one of the finest reviews you have done
Fantastic work from the students too😁❗
There is an excellent catering College in Kendal – one of the best rated in the country – so if you ever get up to the Lakes you might want to give it a try.
I guessed £30 each and that would have been a bargain – has to be a 10+ from me
PS – first time I've noticed Pat is a left handed gun⁉⁉
thanks for another great video
Pat has got his tweed out you know it is a special occasion 🎉😂
Wow!!😃what an amazing find! I like the security side of it ensuring safety for all. Food looked amazing and excellent value for money, all for a good cause too. One of my favourite vlogs this one ❤
Well, I wasn't expecting that, at all……… That was without a doubt, First class dining….. at a college of all places…
WOW, times have changed, a college that teaches and trains students to cook to chef level, but also has a genuine restaurant for there full work experience.
Such a very good exciting choice on the menu, The meals that you both ordered looked really so Top Class….. Neither of you could fault any of it ..
The food was so well presented, top quality and looked to be so full of rich tasty flavour.. 😋😋😋😋
The beef would have been my choice from the menu, The fish looked really good as well ( the batter, was that really beer batter…. Boddingtons Draught )
Martin & Patrick both turned out smart in jackets, in a very posh place…
Was waiting for Martin to let the side down by spilling tartar sauce down his front while finger eating the fish, but no, he got away with it 😃😃😃😃
Well done to all the student chefs, including the table service students, if any of you are watching this stream upon knowing that the Gourmet Lads have dined in your resaurant,
we all here wish you the very best after leaving college to fulfill your chosen career.
Well done Martin and Patrick, this has got to be one of your best food review streams 👍👍👍👍
My old stomping ground (A lifetime ago haha).
I'm impressed! I didn't know that they had this sort of feature at the B&F College.
I might have to take the missus there.
Can't believe how good the food looks.
Another cracking review guys!
Catch you in the next one.
Hi great food reviews please 🥺 let us know opening times and cost of each food has you eat it we're in Blackpool it is 🥺 from down town churckery walsall england
I will happily eat at a student college some go onto some great careers
Fantastic really enjoyed watching,the food five star,what a great set up,future chefs etc,learning the quality food way,thanks both of you,supurb ❤
i do think there is a difference between students and some chefs. the students are trying to do there best some chef's dont.
to start with the place looks nice. Martin you seen that Pat does know how to write his name, hehehe
if it looks nice then your half way there.
do you think the sausage roll is better than Clarkson farm one. it looks nicer.
i do think you need to fine a place that does it as good as what that looks, the staff were good. the water girl filled your glass.
pat you forget to lick the plate after the beef. hehe
I bet you money the fries, on the fish and chips did not come out of a freezer bag.
would you say the fish is 6 or 8 oz size. on video hard to tell.
i would pay that its worth it. you have paid £18 for just fish and chips in some places.
so what was the price if you wanted a 2nd pudding
omg great review and food choices , review and price point , im glad it was hidden gem , and proves the students care about hygine and care , support these lads and lasses support courses and college
Hi lads looks good to be fair
In a world of negativity it was such a pleasure to watch a vlog that litteraly oozed positivity , well done to everyone involved.
During my own student days, a few of us were asked if we would like to go along to a local catering college, that had its own restaurant on its grounds, so they could serve us lunch and receive some feedback. Being typical hard up students, we were thrilled at the opportunity for a free feed with no hesitation to go along. Just like you guys, our expectations weren't high, expecting to be served a canteen style lunch. Imagine our faces when we were presented with a rather sophisticated menu and food that was truly outstanding. Suffice to say we gave them an excitable but glowing review, sending some of the student lads bright red with our girly enthusiasm 😊
I am sure the excellent review you lads gave will be encouraging and much appreciated. Honestly, I also feel that it showcased your abilities to analyse and articulate flavours, textures and technique really well. Really enjoyed this guys, you did brilliantly. ❤
Great review lads defo worth the 10 you gave it
nice1, looked good, good job really, bcos youd have to be cold to turn round to a load of young people and say it was crap, nice1 yeah looked spot on and very fresh
20:44 Patt gets a brainwave and steals the rest of the honeycomb from the kitchen.
Absolutely loved this video lads, your best one to date in my opinion. The food was top class and the service was impeccable. Loved the behind the scenes footage and speaking with the students/staff there. The kitchen was spotless, the restaurant itself was very tastefully decorated with great views. The price was amazing, considering the quality of the food it should have cost far more. A well deserved 10 plus for sure.
Just a couple of things. Personally, I'd rather not see any spoilers at the start. I always like to be surprised as I watch the review. They need to clearly mark where the restaurant is when you reach the floor, for people who have never been before. The custard was most likely crème anglaise, which is lighter and thinner than custard.
I wish them every success in the future and really hope they achieve a Michelin star, they deserve it. Thanks for a wonderful review lads.
Patts lucky day, he got to eat first on 2 out of 3 courses 😆
And treating us to a longer video lol
Nice of you to take Patt out for something to eat before his day at primary school 😉😆
No sharing the desserts, Martin says 2 minutes before tucking into Patts dessert 😂
It's such a shame that people have the attention span of a goldfish these days. I blame the kids wanting everything done in under a minute. This video of yours should be your best performing one as it's such an incredible and inspirational story, besides being an amazing food review. It's just so tough to get viral videos out there. In my experience it's always the videos you least expect to do well, that do really well. The algorithm is an unknown beast most times. Keep hanging in there lads, yer day will come 🤞
