We had lunch today and the quality of the service from the students was excellent. The meal was superb, smoked haddock tart with horseradish cream, presented beautifully. Main course was braised Welsh beef with a mushroom sauce and vegetables, the beef was so tender and delicious. We really enjoyed the meal and would highly recommend this place. Already booked for the Christmas meal.

This place just keeps on excelling itself. Today’s meal was unbelievably good. The starters were delightful and very well presented; the main course was out of this world so delicious, the flavours were incredible; and the dessert (lemon sponge pudding) was incredibly light and tasty. The restaurant itself is modern and spacious and the students pay every attention to detail. The lunchtime menu is a wonderful 3 course meal and there’s always plenty of choice, plus there’s a licensed bar. Our special thanks to all the students who served us and especially to Cameron who was a delight.

Every time we visit Y Celstryn training restaurant, Coleg Cambria, Deeside (Kelsterston College as was) we seem to say ‘that was the best meal yet’. This place just keeps on excelling itself. Today’s meal was unbelievably good. The starters were delightful and very well presented; the main course was out of this world so delicious, the flavours were superb; and the desert was beautifully presented and extremely tasty. The restaurant itself is modern and spacious and the students (and supervisors) pay every attention to detail. The kitchen is divided from the restaurant by a glass wall so it’s great to watch the kitchen team at work. The lunchtime menu is a wonderful 3 course meal and there’s always plenty of choice, plus there’s a licensed bar. Our special thanks to Matt, our waiter today for a seamless service.

We’ve been to Y Celstryn training restaurant, Coleg Cambria, Deeside (Kelsterston College as was) many times for a great weekday meal and we’ve never been disappointed. Therefore when we were looking for a venue to host an afternoon tea on a Saturday afternoon for 70 people to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary I asked the restaurant if they would consider doing such an event. I’m glad to say they said yes and they’ve worked with me over the months to ‘fine tune’ our requirements. I cannot shout the restaurant’s praises loud enough. We had an amazing afternoon, every single detail was taken care of. The students were all so lovely to our guests (who ranged in age from 2- 100 yrs). They’d set up a really nice little area for children to play/colour. The tables were beautifully laid out and the food was just exceptional – so well presented, and tasted out of this world. We had a selection of sandwiches and rolls followed by afternoon tea pastries: Coronation chicken on sun-dried tomato and olive bread Smoked salmon with infused crème fraiche, watercress on malted brown bread Classic egg salad with mustard on white bread Cucumber, minted crème cheese on spinach bread Boned ham with whole grain mustard, apple chutney on carrot and coriander bread Freshly baked sultana and plain scones with clotted cream, home-made lemon curd and strawberry preserve Selection of pastries and cakes. Everyone we’ve spoken to since the party has commented on the ‘top notch’ food and what a lovely venue it is for a celebration. The restaurant is licensed and has a large car park (which is always full during the week) but we had the whole car park on Saturday afternoon. THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF AND STUDENTS INVOLVED IN OUR EVENT.
