The Lane Restaurant is where our talented catering students have the opportunity to show off what they have learned and to demonstrate their creative flair in the kitchen.
All the dishes are prepared by students under the careful supervision of our professional chef-lecturers and technicians. The hospitality and catering team has built an excellent reputation through the achievements of its students in competitions such as World Skills, the Electrolux Student Chef of the Year and the Northamptonshire Food and Drink Awards.
Our alumni have gone on to work at prestigious London hotels such as the Dorchester, Savoy and Claridges, as well as local high-quality establishments including Whittlebury Hall, Kilworth House and Fawsley Hall.

The restaurant itself was fairly small, but full of people having Christmas lunches. The food was nicely presented and everything was beautifully cooked and very tasty. The young lady serving at my table was polite and helpful.

Visited The Lane restaurant for lunch today with my two sisters. We were taken very good care of from the moment we arrived and were seated at our table. The young staff were friendly and attentive, clearly trying to learn their craft and apply it. The food arrived in a timely fashion, it was tasty and there was plenty of it. We all thought it represented very good value. Word needs to get out about how good this place is. Thank you to all the staff.
