In addition to the day to day running of the The Fine Dining Academy cookery school the Academy also coaches new talent to become proficient restaurateurs capable of running a financially viable fine-dining experience. Coaching includes financial management, marketing, sales and business development, strategic thinking and tactical development.

Rising Stars spend time in each of the Group’s restaurants honing their skills and ultimately, if good enough, get given their own restaurant to run and develop with enough freedom to express their own individualism and personality.

Our apprentices have been blogging about some of their experiences during their training with us.  To read the apprentice’s blog please click here.
