A new dining destination has hit Leeds as the result of an innovative partnership between one of the country’s largest independent luxury retail groups and one of the UK’s leading FE colleges.
 
Leeds City College and The Flannels group have joined up for an exciting new enterprise, which sees the College opening a restaurant in a prestigious city centre location - on the third floor of Flannels Leeds, in Vicar Lane.
 
The Food Academy will showcase the College’s most talented students, while complementing the high quality products and services associated with the Flannels brand.
On completing training with the College, there will be the opportunity for those students who have excelled in the kitchen and front of house to secure an apprenticeship at the restaurant, working in a professional, high quality environment and gaining invaluable industry experience.
 
On the menu at the Food Academy at Flannels will be lighter alternatives to breakfast, an All Day menu, consisting of sharing platters, salads and sandwiches, as well as a comprehensive A La Carte lunch menu and classic afternoon tea. All the dishes created will incorporate high quality seasonal and regional produce and meet customer expectations for variety, excitement, versatility and the unexpected.
 
To complement The Food Academy, the College is also launching The Art Gallery at Flannels, co-ordinated and curated by its Creative Arts Faculty, to provide a place where people can relax and enjoy good food while taking in the vibrant work of contemporary artists.
 
The Food Academy at Flannels opens its doors from Friday, November 4th 2011.
Opening hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-4pm and Sunday 11am-5pm.
The Food Academy at Flannels is also ideal for hosting corporate functions and private receptions.
