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.

"Excellent - food and service. Very professional in every way. Polite and well presented. Obviously well taught by teachers and also admin staff."

Capabilitykitten

"A group of 8 people. The restaurant was full, cozy and with a very nice atmosphere. The food was truly gorgeous. We had the tasting menu. Everything came out on nice plates, and vegetarian dish of mushroom risotto for one of our party who didn’t eat fish came on a different type of plate. So lovely and everything taken care of for us, and at only £23 for 4 fabulous courses and coffee and mints, there’s no point going elsewhere! I'll be back!"

"Lovely food. The quail was delicious, but so were all the courses. Friendly efficient service. Real value for money. One of the best places to eat in Northampton."
