Over the last two Wednesdays the Rye Hospitality Guild has welcomed over 20 students from the East Sussex College Hospitality and Catering Course. They have enjoyed visits to the Landgate Bistro, the Waterworks, the Ship Inn, the Tuscan and the Mermaid Inn.
They had the opportunity to look behind the scenes of Rye’s successful hospitality industry, understand the importance of customer focused service, the ever growing importance of connecting online with customers, and the importance of employability skills.
