the trainee chefs even got a tour around the parliament buildings after they fed the likes of Msps Willie Coffey and gillian Martin amongst others.

Hospitalit­y lecturer, Claire anderson said: “this was an outstandin­g evening and a wonderful experience for our students.

“they certainly rose to the occasion, and this experience will give them confidence and aspiration­s for the future.

“the Msps had nothing but praise for the quality of food, and presentati­on.”

Willie Coffey Msp who co- hosted the event said: “I am sure I can speak on behalf of my parliament­ary colleagues in saying that we all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

“the students have proved themselves to be real profession­als, worthy of taking their place in scotland’s much acclaimed food, drink and hospitalit­y sectors, and are a credit to ayrshire College and its staff.

“We would like to thank them, and wish them well in their future careers.”

this was the College’s third invitation to host the prestigiou­s dinner.
